If you’re asking about the health difference between cigarettes, cigars, and the like, I’ll quote the Mayo Clinic website in saying that “there is no safe form of tobacco.” As it happens to be, though, the dangers of cigar smoking are worse than those of cigarette smoking. The same amount of tobacco in one cigar can equal 15 to 20 cigarettes. Regular cigar smokers often don’t realize that it’s k’ilu they’re smoking a pack a day, or even more. People tend to think that cigars are less problematic because it’s not so much breathing in as exhaling the smoke. However, this just means that they can get cancer of the lips, mouth, throat, and tongue, instead of their lungs.
And as Health said, cigars present the huge issue of secondhand smoke, wherein those in your immediate vicinity (typically family, friends, coworkers and chavrusahs) are harmed more than you are. And as you undoubtedly know, cancer is not something most people want to live with – so they die. Think of people you know who have been deleteriously affected by smoking habits and/or secondhand smoke. Please, don’t become a statistic.
As it seems to be a recent habit of yours, I would suggest withdrawing as soon as possible, if that was your eventual plan anyhow. Nicotine can enter your system via absorption into the lining of your mouth, even if you don’t inhale it. It’ll just get harder if you push it off. Hatzlacha.
