I am writing to express my opposition to FDA regulation of cigars. Cigars do not pose the same health risk as cigarettes. Cigars are not inhaled. Most cigar smokers smoke cigars infrequently: Just one or two cigars per week. Many cigars are all natural products, free of chemical additives. Many cigars are handmade by skilled artisans. Please permit this wonderful industry to continue as it is. Thank you.
