Some of the worst effects are decreased circulation in your extremities.
Nicotine and other agents cause narrowing of the blood vessels which causes
poor circulation. This can result in poor healing capabilities in the lower
legs should you get a pressure sore there. I smoked until 1989 and the docs
said that it may have been a contributing factor in having to have both legs
amputated in 2000.

Natural dangers are the long term effects on one's breathing system. Whether
smoking an occasional cigar and how it may affect you is between you and your
doctor.
