The benefits stated (dubiously, and I really hope tongue-in-cheek, because every adult should know better...) probably result from feeding your addiction to nicotine - an addiction no less harmful (and just as powerful) as the current opioid epidemic. Chew it, smoke it, stuff it in your lip, inhale it or not: tobacco is deadly. And if you are feeling heroic about not actually being killed by it...sure, a person can live for quite some time with various parts of their lips, tongue, mouth, throat, larynx, or whatever corroded away by cancer - a truly horrific sight if you've seen it. Cigars, as noted by the Mayo Clinic, are definitely NOT a low-risk entertainment:
"Cigar smoking poses serious health risks, including Cancer.
All tobacco smoke contains chemicals that can cause cancer, and cigar smoke is no exception. Regular cigar smoking increases the risk of several types of cancers, including cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus and larynx. Lung and heart disease."
Because this is America, you know, I guess you have the right to do that to yourself (those Mayo doctors can be real buzzkills, I know) just please don't make believe that you didn't know better while you were doing it.
