Reports of Tobacco Sales, Sponsorships, and Policies at Professional Golf Tournaments

Cigar use is associated with increased risks of cancer and heart disease, including from secondhand smoke (SHS). Cigars also remain a cultural symbol inextricably tied with celebration, including relationships between cigar use and golf, as golf courses remain places where smoking cigars are frequently acceptable. Cigar promotions in golf magazines, such as Golf Digest, and cigar-sponsored golf tournaments contribute to use, with companies advertising, promoting, and selling products on golf courses.
