Already done. I am not aware that fresh hand-made cigars contain additives,
and in fact I believe that the related increase in lung cancer risk is
marginal... Even though admittedly this may have to do with the fact that
most of their smokers do not directly inhale their smoke.

Just out of curiosity: is anybody aware of any recreational or other non
therapeutical use of nicotine other than through tobacco?
