That would be a far more useful warning label.
"Cigars are not a safe alternative to cigarettes"
That text had to have been written by an idiot anti-smoker. Reason being that cigars, even cigarillos, cost a lot more than a pack of cigarettes, and are harsher on the inhale to boot. If you smoke cigars for the nicotine, you are in almost all ways better off with a pack of Luckies.
A good cigar in California cost nearly twice what a pack of cheap smokes will run you. It's more affordable to be a heroine addict.
News flash: Heroine is not a safe alternative to anything. But it's cheaper than emergency medical care, children, visiting your damned in-laws, and decent stogies. So go ahead. Who am I to stop you? It's also considerably more affordable than psychotherapy for the years of abuse you suffered as a child, and most of your fellow junkies will tolerate your belief that you are a reincarnated Inca princess, or a great artist, far more than the rest of us ever can.
Cigars are a good alternative for fast-food. So instead of reaching for that burger-fries-carbonated beverage combo for breakfast, just light up a fine Nicaraguan. An hour of relaxation with a nice cheroot does far more for your oral gratification, with less damage to your digestive system.
Smoking looks more manly (or womanly) too.
As a pipe smoker, primarily, I think that society's ever increasing restrictions and disapprovals are a monumental pain in the gand.
The irritation factor creates a far greater danger to the public.
One of these days someone might run amuck.
Take out a disapproving troll or two.
Or blow smoke in their faces.
Go ahead; light up.
