My dad smoked cigars for years, he also worked out in the sun(postal carrier)for years. Retired when he was 70, because he looked younger....and the goobermint can't discriminate against age. Guess what he got? Melanoma. By the time he bothered going to the doctor, it had spread to his colon. Despite chemo and radiation, the cancer marched straight through his body. He passed away at age 87. I still smile when I smell a good cigar.

He rarely lit up in the house, however I developed chronic bronchitis at an early age(which I have discovered was due to stress-believe it or not), and started smoking when I was 14, to relieve the stress, lol!
