If i have a cigar after a good meal, its almost a given that a visit to the toilet for an "investment to nature's compost heap" will soon follow for me.

Does anyone know what's the chemical element in cigars that does this to the human body?

I'm no doctor but I think that when you introduce new food to your digestive system it sends a message to your lower gastro area to begin the process of making room for the incoming new food. The process is called peristalsis(sp?), your lower intestines begin to contract and push the previously digested food out.

If you Google the effects of nicotine and peristalsis, you'll find there are several articles that also point to a correlation between the two. Caffeine in your morning cup of joe does the same thing. Nicotine and caffeine are stimulants and both are known to jump start peristolsis.

*Yeah, my view too. I always thought it was due to all the tea/coffee we sometimes have with our smokes. And also the possible internal to therefore intestinal stimulant due to the less dangerous nicotine levels in our cigars.

I would've thought the man on The Throne would have had something to say about this... :buddies:

I know Ken has serious issues in this department :buddies:

So its the nicotine.

Makes me wonder. Do they put nicotine in laxatives then? :rolleyes::)

if they don't, they should!

On another side, more often than not, smoking a cigar makes me hungry.

Me too. I always feel oddly peckish after a smoke.

:lol:Are we really going to discuss this..Gentlemen please, TMI. yikes!

Hey Brian1, After being Mr. mom for three kids half of the last 12 years, there's nothing that grosses me out! LOL

Hell I'd even go so far as to say I've become somewhat of an expert on poop ie; color, texture, mass, odor...well you get it.

Just last week my 8 year old swore he saw worms in it. He was mortified, SOO I had to inspect, poke, and disect each poop for three days. The verdict, NO worms. Do I have you running to the bathroom to hurl yet? Got some good ones about vomit too, but thats enough torture for now. :):rolleyes:

Lol, I can just imagine the conversation in the kids' room after lights out that night: "Man, you guys won't believe what I got dad to do!!! Try and top that!!" :)

Eating during a cigar? no way... makes the food taste all funny and weird.

Ross, are you sure it was a cigar you were smoking? :unsure:

I don't remember..... :love:

Red wine late in the evening (for medicinal purposes) also makes me hungry.
