Is the occasional cigar bad?
The more cigars you smoke and the deeper you inhale, the greater the risks.

Instead of trying to choose between cigarette smoking and cigar smoking, try to quit tobacco entirely.
How do I cleanse my teeth after a cigar?
- Club Soda or Sparkling Water. Bitter lemon carbonated beverages have been long used as a mixer for different cocktails.
- Coffee/Espresso with Creamer or Milk. Coffee is a natural palate cleanser.
- Dark Chocolate. Experts recommend that you avoid eating fatty foods before smoking a cigar and cleansing your palate.
- Crackers.
