I stopped smoking cigarettes. I’ve moved on to cigars.

I mean you say that as a joke but cigars you don’t usually inhale into your lungs. Like you’re still at risk of mouth cancer, but if you switched from Cigarettes to cigars, you wouldn’t suffer the myriad of negative health effects that comes with being a cigarette smoker which would objectively be a huge improvement.

Wait you're not supposed to inhale cigar smoke into your lungs? How do you get high from those then?

Moving to cigars first actually helped my father quit smoking completely

I did the cigar thing for about a year. After that I went to a pack of cigarettes a month. About a year of that and I finally quit. I smoked for about fifteen years but I haven't smoked tobacco in over fifteen years.

Good job, that isn’t an easy task
