Tobacco use is harmful to health.
Statement
The content of this website discusses premium cigars, cigar tobacco, cigar culture, and related topics. The discussion is editorial and educational; it is not a recommendation that any person consume tobacco products.
According to public-health authorities including the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the European Medicines Agency, tobacco use is a leading cause of preventable death globally. Cigar smoking, in particular, has been associated with increased risk of cancers of the oral cavity, larynx, esophagus, and lung; with cardiovascular disease; and with adverse pulmonary outcomes. Even occasional or non-inhaled cigar use carries documented health risks.
Editorial Position
This publication does not encourage tobacco initiation. Persons who do not currently use tobacco are advised to refrain. Persons who currently use tobacco and wish to stop are encouraged to consult a healthcare provider or a recognized cessation program. The cultural, historical, and gustatory aspects of premium cigars discussed on this website are presented for adults who have already made informed decisions about their own consumption.
Alcohol
This publication also discusses cocktails and spirits in the context of cigar pairing. Alcohol consumption carries documented health risks. Drink responsibly; do not drink and drive; do not consume alcohol if you are pregnant or have a medical condition for which abstinence is indicated.
