Devils Affricate posted:When I went for my first checkup using my current health insurance plan, the nurse started by asking me a bunch of questions about my medical history and other stuff related to my health. One of the questions was whether or not I'm a smoker, or have ever been in the past, to which I replied that no, I've never been a smoker, although I have occasionally smoked a cigar here and there at special occasions like weddings and poo poo, in case that's important for the doctor to know. Probably a lifetime total of fewer than 10 cigars. I should have just said "no" and left it at that, because this answer was apparently enough to convince her to check the "yes" box next to "has a smoking habit". Now every time I go in the doctor asks me if I still have a smoking habit and Kaiser makes sure to text me every month or so about programs they have available to help me quit. I've tried to tell them many times that the nurse misreported my answer and I've never been a smoker, but I think they just think I'm a smoker in denial or something. It kicks rear end. you're lucky your rate didn't go up. health insurance providers are legally allowed to charge you up to 50% more if you are categorized as a smoker

Maybe my company is paying more for me because I'm a "smoker"? Doesn't affect my wallet but I guess it could make me more likely to get fired if I'm ever on the chopping block next to someone without this scarlet letter.

When I was selling insurance, the definition of smoker was "four or more times a week in the last six weeks." If this is not you, just say you're not a smoker. Also, Ashton VSG 4 life

Love a good cigar with a few drinks. I smoke a few a year these days, just when the mood takes me or when with other cigar smokers. Just a nice, chill thing to do for a bit with nothing else going on. H. Uppmann Connie As my favourite.

Why does cigar smoke smells so vile while pipe tobacco smells amazing? Why aren't they rolling cigars from pipe tobacco?

Cigars are great. Dont get them very often (mainly like weddings and fhe like). Usually get Nicaraguan cigars. They're pretty good and wont break the bank like cubans will.

Some coworkers and I used to sneak out of work and smoke cheap gas station cigars down by the river. We'd try and walk around to air out, but we would alway stink up the elevator when we came back into the office.

A cigar every now and then is nice, but I smoke way more weed than cigars and it is hard not to default to deep pulls of air as opposed to mouthfuls of smoke

Sekenr posted:Why does cigar smoke smells so vile while pipe tobacco smells amazing? Why aren't they rolling cigars from pipe tobacco? pipe tobacco is usually a blend and often contains a bunch of additives to make it smell/taste like that there are sweet flavored cigars too, they're great for rolling blunts. swisher sweets being the most common example but there's plenty of others. hardcore cigar guys who like expensive cigars sneer at them.

rotinaj posted:A cigar every now and then is nice, but I smoke way more weed than cigars and it is hard not to default to deep pulls of air as opposed to mouthfuls of smoke As I said I smoke more weed than cigars. I guess I’ve just gotten used to switching up between inhaling weed and puffing cigars. I remember my first couple cigars every now and then I’d accidentally inhale on instinct and I thought I was gonna die.

Tobacco is not something to be enjoyed. Tobacco is something to inhale in 2 minutes because it's loving cold outside and we need to get back before Dave sends the file

I generally don’t care for cigars personally, but I had this really annoying housemate that I inherited via sublease that, while annoyingly-drunk, invited himself to hang out with a group of my friends and stole a cigar out of a friend’s hand and put the lit end to his lips and tried to take a puff. So, they’re okay sometimes
