Cigar Is No Less Harmful Than Cigarette
Although cigarette and cigars both are
harmful for health, people usually remain confused over the comparative
potential of these products to affect their health.
Quick health
problems may develop in cigarette smokers earlier than cigar consumers.
One reason behind it may be more frequent cigarette smoking and
regulated cigar intake. But, long term effect of cigar is dangerous. It
often results in cancer.
More or less,
cigarettes and cigars do the same damage. If you smoke one pack of
cigarettes and your friend takes five cigars, you both carry equal risk
of lung cancer. But if we sit down to compare one cigarette and one
cigar then definitely cigar is more harmful due to presence of more
tobacco in it.
Even long term effects of cigar tend to be more
dreadful as the tobacco present in it contains other addictive chemicals
and its wrapper that is made up of tobacco is not porous. It results in
intake of more chemical by products of tobacco giving way to lung
cancer, emphysema and other diseases.
vv As cigars don't carry
the statutory warning, people assume that they are less harmful. But,
real evidences contradict this accepted notion. Cigar has become a life
style statement with this presumption that it's better than cigarette
from the point of view of health.
To sum up, whether its
cigarettes or cigars, they both are sure to afflict health problems on
you and both are harmful in their own way.
