POPSLose Weight - Smoke Cigars! A novel approach to lose some pounds. The rebuttal from the Dr. was that it's the nicotine that acts as a stimulant, and that it's not healthy. Obviously he never smoked cigars or he'd realize the nicotine level is incredibly low in most cigars. Cigars also help someone relax and reduce stress. Like anything, moderation is key. Hey, if it helps to get someone morbidly overweight to eat better, exercise and shed some pounds, it's a good thing.
