So you enjoy the occasional cigar, do you? Well, if you’re in the camp that believes cigarette smoking is a no-no, but the occasional cigar is no biggie, think again. A recent article in Men’s Health lists the following as possible side effects to cigar smoking:

• * Frequent daily cigar smoking may double a man’s risk of throat, laryngeal, nose, esophageal and lung cancers, compared with those who don’t smoke.
• * Even a few puffs can raise your heart rate and blood pressure.
• * You are also at risk of exacerbating existing breathing problems like asthma.
• * And perhaps the scariest side effect of all? You may suffer weaker erections due to all the nicotine found in a cigar!

Not saying you should never enjoy a vice here or there, just reporting the information to help you make those informed decisions. We love looking out for you, don’tcha know?
