Mouth and nose cancer. Cancer of the eye or face. Cancer of your blood. Cancer or any part of your body that keeps it functioning at tip top condition.

Smoke lingers in the mouth – your saliva will gather at the back of the throat. The smoke and carcinogens are captured by your snot and held.
Cancer doesn’t care mate.
Hates all of us equally.
It is a myth that when you smoke a cigar you don’t inhaled it smoke. The goal is not to inhale the smoke, but people still inhale some smoke.
You may try not to inhale the smoke, but regardless of your best efforts you’re still going to inhale some of it.
Even if you could actually perfectly exhale all the smoke every time out of both your nose and mouth before you inhale again, the air around you is still going to be filled with some level of smoke.
The really simple answer is there’s no such thing as not inhaling the smoke.

It’s funny if someone smokes in my apartment, I keep an air purifier for allergies.
