Positive Effects of Cigars

Is there really such thing as positive effects of cigars? I submit that smoking cigars can have certain positive effects on your health. The prime reason for your disbelief on my above statement could be the warning which is present on every packet of cigarettes “smoking may be injurious to your health”. But what about cigars? Let’s have a look at the positive side of the smoking cigars.

We all know that the cigar is made up of tobacco leaves. Precisely speaking we can say that cigar is made up of pure tobacco leaves. There are too many journals available online and on paper which can tell you about the hazards associated with tobacco but a very few articles will tell you the benefits and specifically the possible medical benefits. In my opinion it’s a kind of prejudice and not an open minded thought that cigars are bad for you. There are more than sixty-four species of tobacco. The tobacco plant grows naturally in various parts of North and South America, Australia, a few South Pacific islands, and one species in Namibia, in southwestern Africa. Nicotine is the alkaloid found in the tobacco. In its natural form nicotine is a colorless volatile liquid and alkaline in reaction. This chemical was first isolated in 1807 by Gaspare Cerioli in Italy and Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin a chemistry professor in Paris. It was called the oil of tobacco. Later in 1822 a well known German chemist extracted the same chemical from tobacco smoke. Hermbstd can be used for many beneficial purposes also and historical evidence proves this fact. This plant is used in preparations of pesticides and has been used in very small doses as a medicine for colon problems among indigenous peoples of South America. Even back in the US ‘Old’ west, the traveling medicine show picked up this bit of medical trivia and sold tobacco suppositories to cure indigestion, diarrhea, and constipation.

There are many records that show the use of tobacco was multipurpose and it was used socially, in friendship and war; fertility-promoting in agriculture and courtship; spiritually, to incur trance spirit, consultation, magical curing, and medicine. They also learned it was a powerful plant that, in small doses was able to stimulate as well as depress hunger and thirst, and in large doses to produce visions and trances. Research shows that Alzheimer’s is characterized by a loss of cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain with an associated loss of nicotinic receptors and Clinical studies have shown that intravenous administration of nicotine to non-smoking Alzheimer's patients produces significant improvements in long-term recall and attention span. With this type of medical research no one can ignore the importance of tobacco and cigars.
