my grandfather died from cancer (cigar smoker)
my father died from cancer (cigar smoker)
Rush was a cigar smoker.

No, it does not mean you WILL die from it if you smoke, but why? What is the benefit vs risk?

I occasionally smoke a pipe or cigar, and I do it because it pisses of nanny stater Leftists, and because it relaxes me...:)

There is, for me, benefit that justifies that risk, however small.

The research I read said the majority of lung cancer was from raydon.

Remember a heck of a lot of nonsmokers and non- tobacco users also get lung cancer.

Great way to put it.

Rush was a longtime cigarette smoker and I have a hunch that THAT may have had much more to do with it.

Being free to enjoy it if they want to is worth the risk for some.

It’s not something I want to do. But I get that others do.
