Cigar smoking is considered much less harmful to the health than cigarette smoking. In recent times, a lot of cigarette smokers who have shifted to smoking cigars believe that it has less health risks, although this has not been proved scientifically. It is widely assumed so, because cigars are considered to have less content of tobacco than cigarettes.

However, it is proven that most of these popular beliefs are incorrect. Although people recognize cigar smoking as being more 'civilized' and 'cultured' and less hazardous than cigarette smoking, the fact remains that a single large cigar can contain as much tobacco as an entire pack of cigarettes. The secondhand smoke that it gives off and that others breathe in can fill a room for hours. While the reasons people smoke cigars are mottled, the fact is that cigars, like cigarettes, can become addictive. Nicotine is the substance in tobacco that causes addiction, and most cigars have as much nicotine as several cigarettes. When cigar smokers inhale cigar smoke, nicotine is absorbed as rapidly as with cigarettes. For those who do not inhale the smoke, it is still absorbed more slowly through the lining of the mouth.

Cigar smoke just like the smoke of cigarettes increases the smoker's risk of death from several cancers including cancer of the lung, oral cavity, esophagus and larynx. If the smoke is inhaled, cigar smoking appears to be associated with cancer of the pancreas and bladder, as well.

Therefore, most assumptions that cigar smoke is safer than cigarette smoke is quite a hoax, and it pays to avoid the addiction instead of battling the consequence later on. Cigar smoke can also affect those around smokers, and can prove to be fatal for those in close association to the cigar smoker.
