What is a cigar?

A cigar is made of rolled up tobacco. Much like a cigarette but large and does not contain additives. There are two kinds of cigars: machine-made cigars and hand-rolled cigars. All cigars contain three kinds of tobacco: filler, binder and wrapper. A machine-made cigar is made very much like a cigarette. The filler tobacco is chopped--if it is cigar tobacco at all (there are several kinds of tobacco, and many of them are completely wrong for making cigars) it is the trimmings from handmade cigar manufacture, or it is leaf not suitable for making premium cigars. The binder tobacco is Homogenized Tobacco Leaf--a sort of paper made from tobacco. The wrapper is leaf tobacco. There are two kinds of hand-rolled cigars: hand-bunched and machine-bunched. A hand-bunched cigar has the filler tobacco (all tobacco is a hand-rolled cigar is long-leaf) bunched into a cigar shape by a worker who then wraps first binder then filler tobacco around it. A machine-bunched cigar has the filler bunched and binder applied by a machine, and the wrapper is applied by hand.

How does cigar effect your respiratory system?

It puts carcinogenic material into your mouth, throat, and larynx, lips. And this seems fairly obvious, that you could get cancer from putting that in your mouth. But people who smoke cigars - besides lung cancer - also get cancer of the pancreas and bladder.

Smoking promotes tooth decay. Which sounds generally harmless and painless, but with deep cavities and poor oral hygiene come painful abscessed teeth.

It increases high blood pressure and hardens the arteries, so it doesn't just affect respiration, but your circulatory system as well. All these affects put you at a higher risk of a stroke.

It can alter your hormone production, which means increased chances of erectile dysfunction, and infertility. And infertility doesn't just have to do with the amount of sperm a man is able to produce, but their health. When the sperm cells have two heads and five tails and don't know which way to swim because of toxic substances being put into a person's body, the ability to conceive drops.

It affects the immune system, making you more likely to get any cold, flu, even stomach bug that comes your way. You might even find yourself more likely to react to other allergens, like hayfever. Wounds take longer to heal.

How do you set the cigar humidor up properly?

Assuming your humidor has a capacity of between 40 and 80, the first thing you need to do is throw the instructions away. Remove the hygrometer and what ever device they supplied to create humidity, and throw them away. You are now on your way to smoking more, and being frustrated less.

Buy a combination digital thermometer/hygrometer. Buy a couple of jars of humidification jell (or beads). they release the humidity at a specified rate. I keep the cap off of one and should the digital gauge indicate the levels getting low I remove the other cap. Some times of the year you might be capping both jars. You will find the level where cigars smoke the best. The ideal combo is 70/70. 70% humidity and 70 degrees F. You will learn that humidity levels will fluctuate based on the temp. Since the temp is usually something you cannot control, (you would not lower the temp in your entire home to 70 degrees when your normal summer setting is 76 degrees) you only need to know this: as the temp rises, so will your humidity. So, if your temp is 76 , 70% will be too much humidity.

Do not rub the inside of the humidor with water. Allow the jars to work inside your humidor for at least a week before putting cigars in it. 2 weeks is better. Only use distilled water to refill the jars. Don't store the humidor where it can receive direct sunlight. Inside a cabinet or closet is best. Do not store "flavored" and regular cigars in the same humidor. Don't buy a box of anything until you know you like it. Buy samplers. My last bit of advice - There is no such thing as a one dollar cigar... life is too short. Only buy the ones you enjoy.

The latest research on the effects of marijuana on lung cancer shows that marijuana smokers actually have lower rates of lung cancer than people do not smoke pot. It seems to provide a protective effect. This research was done by Dr. Donald Tashkin of UCLA, the leading expert on the topic.

Every major government commission report on marijuana in the last 100 years has concluded that marijuana is not a serious threat to either individual or public health. You can read the full text of these reports at Major Studies of Drugs and Drug Policy - http://druglibrary.org/schaffer/Library/studies/studies.htm

The largest study of the health effects was done by Kaiser Permanente. They surveyed the health records of 65,000 patients over a number of years. They found no significant differences between the health records of pot smokers and people who did not smoke pot. see http://www.druglibrary.org/crl/aging/sidney-01.html

The World Health Organization studied the comparison between alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana in health effects. They concluded that marijuana is safer than either alcohol or tobacco by a wide margin. See

A Comparative Appraisal of the Health and Psychological Consequences of Alcohol, Cannabis, Nicotine and Opiate Use - http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/hemp/general/who-index.htm

The number of deaths produced by tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana in the US in a typical year is as follows:

Tobacco - about 400,000

Alcohol - about 100,000

Acetimenophen (Tylenol) - about 2,000

Marijuana -- no recorded deaths in history.

See How many people are killed by drugs?

http://druglibrary.org/schaffer/library/basicfax3.htm

(These facts are always skewed in such a manner than pot can never be included. The studies only show deaths directly related to the substance. i.e. alcohol poisoning, overdose of pills. But the indirect deaths caused by pot are actually much greater than Tylenol.)

Studies even show that due to marijuana's ability to clear the lungs of smog, pollutants, and cigarette smoke, it may actually reduce your risk of emphysema, bronchitis, and lung cancer. Smokers of cannabis have been shown to outlive non-smokers in some areas by up to two years. Medium to heavy tobacco smokers will live seven to ten years longer if they also
