Is it possible to smoke cigars everyday and not get lung cancer?

[jamartheg]

Yes

No

[horatiohornblower]

Tobacco products increase cancer risks. They don't guarantee it. Just like drunk driving doesn't guarantee a crash. It just greatly increases the odds.

Statistically, everything is possible. But do you think, throat cancer will be any better?

[zeitgeist057]

Of course it's "possible". It's possible to win the lottery. It's possible to kill a lion with your bare hands. It's possible to hold your breath underwater for over 10 minutes, or to dive to a depth of over 300 feet free diving (with no tank or air other than your lungs). It's possible to ride a motorcycle every day for 20 years and never get in an accident.

But that's not most people's experience.

There was some guy who smoked cigars every day and he didn't get lung cancer. He was shot and killed at age 28.

Yeah because you generally don't pull cigar smoke into your lungs

[exitseven]

Yes, but you will still get yellow teeth and shit for breath, Your clothes wiillstink too.

[RockyHammock]

Yeah, I think so at least. Every distribution can have outliers.
