• One large fat cigar, even unlit, if it’s just kept in the mouth, you’ll absorb nicotine from just the contact of the tobacco leaf end of the cigar sitting in the mouth.
• Smoking five cigars a day and inhaling moderately produces the same lung cancer risk as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day.
• Cigars produce even more environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) than cigarettes, due to their size, long aging and fermentation, and long burning time. The wrapper of a cigar (made of tobacco leaf) is not very porous and burns less completely than cigarettes, meaning the air surrounding a cigar smoker has higher concentrations of nitrogen oxides, ammonia, carbon monoxide, and tar than the air around a cigarette smoker.
• Cigar smokers who have smoked cigarettes are more likely to inhale. According to studies done by the American Cancer Society, those that inhale have an 11 time greater risk of death from lung cancer compared to that of non-smokers.
• For those who inhale, cigar smoking appears to be linked to death from cancer of the pancreas and bladder too.
• Cigar and pipe smokers are at risk for early tooth loss.
• For men, cigar smoking is also associated with sterility and some problems like erectile dysfunction.
