Smoking Cigars same as Smoking Cigarettes?

[Papagayo]

I have quit smoking for about 6 months now.

I do like cigars.. Is it the same thing?

Are cigars addictive? Just as bad ad cigarettes?


My wife thinks it's just as bad.

Many say it's worse! When you smoke one full body cigar you are getting alot more tabacco then a cig. But, Cigar usage doesn't lead to as much lung cancer. Instead you get cancer in the throat or mouth. This is mainly due to the fact that you don't inhale cigar smoke, and most people start smoking cigars later in their life then they would ciggerettes. If you want to enjoy a good cigar, get some good brandy and a smoke it for a few hours.

Still kills you the same as cigs. With that said, I look forward to my Monte Cristo tonight 😉

It's not the same, but there's still some addiction risks.
There is still plenty of nicotine in cigars, and you absorb it orally even though you aren't supposed to inhale much of the smoke. It will probably make your cravings come on stronger again after they have faded for the past 6 months.

i too enjoy cigars, and have recently given up smoking.

somehow though, i just don't get the enjoyment if i can't take the smoke fully into my lungs. i think that was the main sensation that made me enjoy cigarettes for the time i was a smoker.

QFT! Hookah tobacco is cleaner, less additives, and has the fruit flavor that tastes pleasant while leaving a good aroma around tha place. I'm not saying it's the best thing in the world, but if you're going to smoke it may be among the least worst in every category.

nicoteine is addictive which is in tobacco. I prefer the smell of pipe tobacco. The smells are so nice.......

haha, well that didn't take long. Nah I just meant that it's bad but there are levels of how crappy smoking is. I just happen to think that hookah isn't as bad as a cigarette. I happen to enjoy a cigar on a fall night with friends. <shrug> to each his own. 🙂
