    Any and all tobacco products are serious health threats in any amount. Even with cigars and pipes - you're still imbibing more than two thousand toxic chemicals every time.

    Puff on the cigar, don't inhale. If you feel the back of your throat being irritated by smoke you're inhaling and this is unhealthy.

  • Do not take cigarettes ! You should tell your parents. Your risk is making you lungs turn black and die. Check this out on risks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_to...

    2. Smoking makes you 5 years older

    Men have a greater chance of dying then women, and smoking increases any adult’s risk of

    death just as if five years were suddenly added to their age.

    For men who have never smoked, heart disease presents their greatest risk for death at•

    any age, exceeding the odds of dying from lung, colon and prostate cancer combined.

    Male smokers face a lung cancer risk that is greater than the odds of heart disease•

    taking their lives after age 60, and is ten–fold higher than the chance of dying from

    prostate and colon cancer combined.

    The chance of dying from heart disease and breast cancer are similar for nonsmoking•

    women until age 60, when heart disease becomes a greater risk.

    For female smokers, dying from lung cancer or heart disease is more likely than dying•

    from breast cancer after age 40.

    Diabetics who smoke are more likely to have severe hypoglycemia

    People with diabetes who smoke are more than twice as likely to have an episode of severe

    hypoglycemia, or very low blood sugar, as those who have never smoked, Loss of sugar can

    cause mental confusion, or even coma or seizures in severe instances. Smoking, through its

    effect on hormone regulation and insulin clearance, has been hypothesized to result in severe

    hypoglycemia. According to a study published in the journal Diabetes Care, after taking

    account of other factors, smoking conferred a 2.6–fold increased risk of having severe

    hypoglycemia. Furthermore, smoking was associated with similarly increased odds of having

    diabetes–related nerve damage, impaired kidney function, and sight–threatening retinal

    defects.

    Along with making your blood thicker and more likely to clot, smoking raises your blood pressure. You can also reduce your risk by exercising and maintaining a healthy weight.
