Cigars
Treated identically to cigarette smoke in this framework: even without deliberate inhalation, cigar smoke delivers heavy metals and crystallized tars that deposit into bone and soft tissue, burden the liver, and persist indefinitely without targeted nutritional intervention.
Aajonus addressed cigars only briefly in the source passages, in the context of an iridology reading for someone who had smoked cigars for a significant period. His comments are narrow and specific rather than part of a broad treatment of cigar smoking as a distinct subject. The remarks he made treat cigar smoke through the same framework he applied to all forms of tobacco smoke: the primary concern is heavy metals and the accumulation of hardened, crystallized tars in body tissue, which he regarded as a long-term burden on the lymphatic system, liver, and lungs regardless of whether smoke was actively inhaled.
In that reading, Aajonus noted that even without deliberate inhalation, cigar smoke presents a genuine risk because the smoke circulates in the surrounding air and enters the body passively. He made no distinction between cigar smoking and cigarette smoking in terms of the fundamental chemistry of the tars or the biological consequences of their accumulation. The route of exposure was different but the category of harm was the same.
Cigars and Heavy Metal Accumulation
When reading a person's iridology who disclosed that he had smoked cigars for approximately three to four years and had stopped, Aajonus told him directly: "cigars is pretty bad. Even though you don't inhale, the smoke goes around. There's heavy metals in that." The bones of the hip and spine were implicated in that reading, suggesting that the metals from cigar smoke had deposited into skeletal tissue. Aajonus observed that this kind of accumulation does not resolve on its own with the passage of time. His exact framing was that it "stays in your body for a lifetime, unless you get the right nutrients to remove it."
The fact that this person had stopped smoking cigars three to four years prior did not reassure Aajonus. The metals and tars remained present and detectable through iridology, and the liver was showing signs of reduced function. Aajonus linked the liver dysfunction directly to the metal burden, noting that in cases where cancer takes over a body, it is typically when the liver stops functioning adequately.
Recommended Protocol Following Cigar Exposure
For this individual, Aajonus prescribed a specific vegetable juice formula to support detoxification and liver function: 60 percent celery, 15 percent parsley, 10 percent cilantro, and the remainder summer squash. He also recommended applying a hot water bottle at the right side of the body to stimulate liver activity, explaining that cancer progression in his observation is consistently associated with the liver ceasing to function properly.
No green tobacco protocol was specifically prescribed in this exchange, though Aajonus recommended that formula in other contexts for people carrying tobacco tars more broadly. His general position, expressed across multiple readings and workshops, was that the juiced and fermented green tobacco remedy was the most direct means of dissolving hardened and crystallized tobacco tars. Light and second-hand smokers, in his protocol, would consume 3 drops per day of green tobacco juice prepared with raw apple cider vinegar and lemon juice and fermented for several weeks; heavy long-term smokers would consume up to 7 drops per day. Whether cigar smokers of several years would fall into the light or heavy category was not specified in the passage, but the language around the cigar-smoking case suggests the exposure was substantial enough to produce systemic metal deposits in bone.
Passive Exposure Through Cigar Smoke
Aajonus's comment that "the smoke goes around" even when the smoker is not inhaling reflects his broader position on secondhand smoke as a genuine source of systemic tar and metal contamination. In other parts of his teaching he described secondhand smokers as having tars "patched all over in the system" rather than concentrated in the bronchioles and lungs as in direct smokers. He considered secondhand exposure sufficient to produce the same kinds of crystallized deposits that he saw in active smokers, though potentially distributed differently through the body. The cigar-smoking case fits within this framework: partial or ambient inhalation over several years was enough to deposit heavy metals into hip and spine tissue in quantities detectable through iridology.
