Heavy smokers have a ~25% chance of getting lung cancer (plus various other horrible things), it drops to ~15% for light smokers, that's people who smoke many cigarettes a day every day. This service sends out 4 Cigars a month, the lung cancer risk from that is minuscule.
- eesmith 7y agoAnother way to view it is that they encourage people to start smoking ("new hobbyists"). In addition, while they currently send out 4 cigars a month, from the article: "We haven’t been extremely active in the larger cigar community because the hardcore fans generally buy in bulk cigars, which isn’t really our customer. Our customers are generally beginners/novices who are interested in getting started. This is an area we are interested in jumping into soon, however." (Emphasis mine in the last sentence.) It therefore doesn't seem like they are limiting themselves because of any concern about the health of their customers. When would the disease risk be high enough that you think it would be unethical for you to sell/distribute cigars?
