It is fun to hear lines like: “Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar." This is according to Sir Sigmund Freud. "A woman is only a woman: but a good cigar is a smoke.” this one is according Sir Rudyard Kipling in his poetry. This only shows how cigar smoking is regarded by men since then.
Now, even women are into smoking. Despite all the health hazards, people still go on smoking for no general reason at all.
What matters is that smoking must be done with moderation and responsibility. Not merely smoke because you want to show-off your so vcalled “manly’ thing.
