Question

Which is more harmful, flavored cigar (candle light) or cigarette (marlboro red) ?

Answer 1

the practice of both are known to be a risk factor for cancer of the mouth, throat, larynx, gullet (esophagus) and lung, and also for a  breathing condition called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), inhaled or not.

Between the two the cigarrette is the more condemning of the two (because of inhalation in my opinion).

I once read an article that said: tobacco, is tobacco, is tobacco.

A typical cigarette contains about a gram of tobacco and approximately one to two milligrams of nicotine. It takes 5 to 10 minutes to smoke a cigarette. In contrast, a cigar can contain anywhere from 5 to 17 grams of tobacco and widely varying amounts of nicotine - usually between 160 and 200 milligrams. Some premium cigars may have as many as 400 milligrams of nicotine in them. A cigar burns slowly and takes 2 hours or more to smoke.

Cigarettes and cigars differ primarily in how people use them. Cigarette smoke is inhaled into the lungs, and absorption of nicotine quickly follows.

Cigar smoke is not usually inhaled because it is more harsh, but it's important to know that nicotine is still absorbed through the lining of the mouth in quantities sufficient to produce dependence. Also, cigarette smokers who smoke cigars are more likely to inhale the smoke from their cigars as well.

Answer 2

cigar. cigarettes are filtered.

Answer 3

I'd say the cigar is more harmful. but is sort of like asking if shooting up heroin or meth is more harmful. The lesser of two evils

Answer 4

I love how people who don't have a clue give answers.

Its CIGARETTES that are more harmful.  You do NOT inhale cigars - they are only puffed for the flavor and aroma.

Cigarettes are inhaled for the nicotine hit.
