How to Stop Smoking Black & Milds

Many people do not know that black and mild cigars provide the same health risk as cigarettes. Black and mild smokers are just as vulnerable to heart diseases, cancer and respiratory diseases. You should approach kicking the habit of smoking black and mild cigars in the same way you would attempt to defeat cigarette addiction.

Kicking a smoking habit is no walk in the park, but the long-term benefits are worth the effort.
