Are cigars safer then cigarettes?
smoking cigars are not necessarily good for you but they are significantly better for you than cigarettes. Cigarette smoke is inhaled through your lungs and the additives are absorbed into your bloodstream which causes damage to your liver, kidneys, heart, and skin. Cigars dont have any additives and are not inhaled. a person who smokes cigars on occasion (say once or twice a week) can still perform athletically on a daily routine without having heart issues ( i dont know how more than twice a week will effect performance because i have not witnessed it). Also the chances becoming addicted to cigars is slim to none. Because there is always the possibility of mouth cancer cigars shouldn't be smoked anymore than once a day. Granted secondhand smoke from cigars is just as bad for people as cigarettes. They should always be smoked outdoors.
since you dont inhale the smoke is it a lot less damaging on your lungs, but on the other hand cigars are usually 5 times the size of a cigerette, they also have a higher chance of giving you mouth cancer because of the amount of smoke that stays in your mouth.
In the early 90s, cigars were promoted as safer, but that is not necessarily true - they create more carbon monoxide - which is a factor in cigar / cigarette related heart attacks. They also tend to be smoke for longer, which can increase certain cancer risks.
Remember that 5 out of every 14 smoking related deaths are second hand smoke related. First hand smokers not only get the negatives from first hand, they also get all the second hand too.
wronggggggg!
Cigar vs. Cigarette Use
One of the main thrusts behind cigars' popularity is the belief that they are a safe alternative to cigarettes because the smoke is not inhaled, and because cigars are commonly used only occasionally and not daily. Traditionally, cigar smokers hold the smoke in their mouth and throat, allowing nicotine and other chemical compounds to be absorbed through the mucous lining of the mouth and throat, rather than inhaling the smoke into their lungs.
A smoker can spend more than an hour puffing on a cigar, which has the equivalent risk of oral cancers as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. Daily cigarette smokers and daily cigar smokers have similar levels of risk for oral cancers. Smokers who smoke more than five cigars per day have lung cancer risks comparable to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day.
The real difference between cigar and cigarette smoking is the type of cancers that cigar smokers develop, which is usually a head or neck cancer instead of the lung cancer so common among cigarette smokers. Unfortunately, people who switch from using cigarettes to cigars tend to smoke cigars the way they smoked cigarettes: by inhaling deeply and smoking often. Inhalation seems to raise the health risks of cigars so that the smoker will face the same health risks as with cigarette smoking.
Unlike cigarettes, cigars do not have filters to reduce their tar and nicotine content. Cigar packages do not carry the Surgeon General's health warnings that are required on other tobacco products. Like cigarettes, the additives in cigars are not regulated by any consumer or governmental agency and do not have to be reported or put on the label.
Cigar Smoke and Nicotine Content
Researchers currently believe that as few as five milligrams of nicotine a day is enough to cause addiction to the drug. The average cigarette has around one milligram of nicotine in it, and cigars have much higher levels of nicotine -- up to 400 milligrams in large, long cigars. This means that one cigar a day may be enough to cause addictive changes in your brain cells. Tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 chemical compounds, including the following substances, which are also contained in household products with warning labels telling you to avoid inhaling them:
- formaldehyde
- ammonia
- urethane
- naphthalene
Other cigar smoke contents include the following substances:
- carbon monoxide
- hydrogen cyanide
- arsenic
- nicotine
- benzene
- vinyl chloride
- ethylene oxide
- other volatile aldehydes
- cadmium
- radioactive polonium 210
Because of the long aging and fermentation process for cigar leaves, because of the larger size of cigars and because of the toxic way it burns due to cigars' nonporous wrappers, cigar smoke has 20 times more ammonia than cigarettes and 80 to 90 times the number of highly carcinogenic, tobacco-specific nitrosamines. Cigar smoke also contains 30 times more carbon monoxide than cigarette smoke.
do some research!!!!!
No tobacco use is good for you. Cigars are better for you than cigarettes since the amount of smoke inhaled is less and cigarettes have many additives where hand rolled cigars are only tobacco. Some people are more offended by cigar second hand smoke. Some like it better. There is not much information on the effects of second hand cigar smoke.
* Neither cigars or cigarettes are good for you. While cigar smoke is generally not inhaled, but savored in the mouth and then the smoke is blown out, it still is related to mouth and lip cancer. Some people that do smoke cigars can inhale and thus, like cigarette smoke it can cause lip, mouth, throat and lung cancer.
Cigars increase your chances of developing cancer of the lips, tongue and mouth. If you are already a cigarette smoker, you will inevitably teach yourself to inhale the cigar smoke, so in that respect you will gain little. Net result: they're as bad or worse.
Cigars are less damaging to your health as long as they are not inhaled. Studies indicate health risks very similar for those who inhale. All tobacco products have associated health risks.

What effect does smoking cigarettes have on lungs?

Are e-cigarettes better to smoke than real cigarettes?
Yes, e-cigarettes are better to smoke than real cigarettes. There is no tobacco, tar, carbon monoxide or any other carcinogens in the vapor that is released from traditional e-cigarettes. They are also safer for the people around you in that there is no smoke released, only a vapor that is primarily water, nicotine, propylene glycol and flavor. An example is Cigarti™ e-cigarettes. Cigarti™ contains only water, propylene glycol, nicotine, and a scent that imitates tobacco and fruit flavors. Cigarti™ has been extensively tested and the cartridges have been toxicologically tested and none of the ingredients are considered cancer-causing agents. Cigarti™ also holds CE & ROHS certifications.From an addiction standpoint, however, they are basically the same. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance found in tobacco, and this substance is found in most e-cigarettes.
