Many people believe that cigars are safer than cigarettes, but they are lying to themselves.
Please, everybody, give up smoking anything ASAP.
If I ever get lung cancer, it will be because of my three plus years waitressing in a coffee shop (working my way through college) in the mid-1970’s. Then it seemed like everybody smoked, and smoking in restaurants was permitted.
I have never smoked, but I had to breathe some SERIOUS second-hand smoke when I was on the job.
But since that was almost 50 years ago and I’m very healthy, I probably won’t get lung cancer from my waitressing days.
