Both my parents were regular cigarette smokers, my dad being a 3 pack a day man for the better part of 50 years, didn't seem to do him much harm other than the expense, and where I live that's mostly tax... I'm a pretty regular cigar smoker myself, depending on what I'm up to I smoke 5-10 cigars a week, which isn't as expensive as it may sound since I buy most of my sticks from cigar auction sites for well under retail. From what I understand, the health risks from cigars are nearly negligible unless you're regularly smoking two or more cigars a day, and even at what I pay my budget would give out long before my body would. I also occasionally smoke pipe and hookahs, for which I blend my own tobacco, though because both require more equipment I'm far more likely to simply light a cigar than drag out all the gear, though the hookah is always a hit during parties. Frankly, I probably have as much fun hunting down deals on cigars and tinkering with shisha flavorings as I do actually smoking them, but that part is fun too.
