Most of my state would not have survived the depression without the cash crop of tobacco. There was no other way. There were no other jobs.

I've never seen any sugar free gum that tastes like cigars. "Sugar free" tells me right there that you're some kind of zealot.

There is just as much of a legitimate purpose for puffing on a cigar as there is in eating food that tastes good. Cigar smokers don't inhale the smoke. George Burns practically chain-smoked cigars his entire life, and he lived to be 100. Some people get cancer, and some don't, whether they smoked or not. I don't smoke just because I personally don't want to, but I will never stop anyone else.
