Printed from DiagnosisHeart.com Article Summary Cigars and Heart Disease by Hratch L Karamanoukian, MD and Pierre Aoukar, MD Summary:
The authors showed that cigar smokers who smoked more than 2 cigars per day or who inhaled had a higher risk for increased death.
This gives new meaning to the oft made comment by a cigar smoker, “but I don’t inhale…..” This study and others debunk the notion that cigar smoking is safer than cigarettes. Even the surgeon general was wrong when he reported (in 1983) that “cigars do not substantially increase the risk of heart disease”.
He must have been smoking those big Cuban cigars that were being passed around by lobbyists in Washington, DC. Reference: Date of Article Publication: Web Site: http://www.diagnosisheart.com
