Compare and contrast the health risks of cigar smoking to the risks of smoking cigarettes

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

As compared to cigarettes, cigars have higher levels of carcinogens and other toxins, and more tar. One cigar has as much nicotine as several cigarettes, and once inhaled, the nicotine is absorbed as rapidly. Like cigarette smokers, cigar smokers are at risk for cancers of the lung, oral cavity, larynx, esophagus, and possibly pancreas.
