My brother says “cigars” are not that bad compared to Cigarettes and marijuana?

Question by Victor C: My brother says “cigars” are not that big compared to Cigarettes and marijuana?
He claims because you don’t inhale cigars, they aren’t as bad as marijuana and cigarettes. Marijuana isn’t always inhaled. And chewing tobacco isn’t even smoked and it causes severe damage to the mouth if miss used. Anybody have any solid evidence on this question?Well some dumnasses put it in food and shit..i think thats a rumor but i am not sure…looking at this from all angles…and he says no one has prooved it yet….We know the cigar is not inhaled and is safer than cigarettes. What about marijuna? It is said to be inhaled but to have no man made products stuffed into it, and doing it certain ways..is better than smoking a cigar…

    Cigar’s are worse than cigarettes.
    They still contain most of the bad ingredients that cigarettes do and when you suck in the smoke, its still inside your mouth, leading to mouth cancer.
    Dont smoke cigars or cigarettes.
    SMOKE WEED !

    Cigars are much worse when it comes to secondhand smoke (because they are larger and take longer to burn). Lung cancer rates are not as bad but mouth and throat cancer are very high. I know what I am talking about…i received a cancer control fellowship from UCLA.

    what do u mean weed isnt always inhaled?weed is always inhaled.however there are no carcinogens (cancer causing chemicals)in weed so it is virtually harmless. usually people dont inhale cigars, or chain smoke cigars, so yes cigars are safer than cigarettes in moderate doses however they can still cause other kinds of mouth cancer.

    Generally people smoke far less cigars than cigarettes, and since they don’t inhale, it isn’t nearly as bad for you as smoking 25 cigarettes a day and inhaling.

    People don’t smoke as much marijuana as they do cigarettes either however, so I don’t know what he was really talking about there…

    But smoking cigars are still is a health risk, just not as bad as cigarettes

    people who chew tobacco let it sit in there mouth where the gums and your lips or cheeks can absorb it. marijuana is inhaled thats why people like it because it impairs there thinking vision and so forth. cigars are not inhaled and you dont let them sit in your mouth to where the tobacco is absorbed like when you chew. but keep in mind they arent healthy for you either. you still have a risk of accidentally inhaling the cigar which in turn puts that smoke into your lungs.

    hope that helps :]

    Actually, it’s weed that is the least harmful in that group. Generally, there aren’t a whole bunch of chemicals mixed in with the plant that are carcinogens.

    stretch the time line out long enough, the survival rate is zero…
    You don’t chain smoke cigars, therefore you smoke less.
    If you smoke in a broom closet, 2nd hand smoke can be a problem, most people I know smoke outside or in a cigar bar (state-of-the-art air purification system in place)
    You don’t inhale cigars.
    In any decent cigar, there are NO additives
    Standard smoking means you take a puff about once a min. So for the hr it takes to smoke a cigar its in your mouth about 3 min.
    Hope this helps make the cigar point of view.

    All the anti-smoking fanatics can piss off, my lungs my choice

    The FDC try to use scare tactics to scare people away from all tobacco products. Cigars can be harmful. A few famous cigar smokers have died from cancers of the mouth and the throat. Most of the notable ones though smoked upwards of 10-25 large cigars a day.

    One famous line that the FDC infamously throws out is that cigars have more nicotine than cigarettes. The FDC is correct with this claim. It is incredibly misleading though and a stupid thing to say to people while leaving out something far more important. If people crammed cigarettes in their mouths and cigars in their mouths and swallowed them, yes they would get more nicotine from the Cigar. The thing is, the majority of the nicotine absorbed from smoking Cigarettes is in the lungs. Cigar smokers do not inhale(though they do absorb nicotine in the mouth). Nicotine in the mouth is absorbed at a much lower rate than in the lungs. You get far less nicotine from smoking cigars than you do cigarettes. Also, if you actually ever looked at the statistical data, cancer causing deaths from cigars compared to non smokers is only 1 to 1.02(a very low ratio) on two cigars a day. On 3 cigars a day, it goes up somewhat(still not anywhere close to cigarettes though). Don’t believe everything that the government tells you.
