my health class had a question are cigars just as bad as ciggarettes or worse if so how?

Answer 1

Cigars are actually worse than cigarettes.
1. One cigar can contain more tobacco than found in a pack of cigarettes!
2. Cigars contain much, much higher amounts of nicotine making them even more addictive.
3. Cigar smoke is more toxic because it is more concentrated.
4. One cigar a day increases your risk for cancer.
5. Cigar smokers risk early tooth loss.
6. Cigar smoking is proven to cause erectile dysfunction in men.
7. The second hand smoke of a cigar can fill a room for hours.
