Hazards Of Cigar Smoke


Many people believe that smoking a cigar is less hazardous than smoking a cigarette. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Cigars are bigger than cigarettes and take more time to smoke. This means longer exposure to the chemicals that result from smoking for both the smoker and those who are subject to the second hand smoke.

The chemicals released include ammonia, cadmium, carbon monoxide, and hydro-carbons.

Cigars also contain more tar than the average cigarette. And there are more nitrosamines used when fermenting cigars.

They are also addicting through absorption of nicotine when inhaling the smoke and/or through absorption through the soft tissues in the mouth.

There is no shortcut to health other than to stop smoking. But often the person who is the smoker is unwilling to or cannot stop. The only hope for others who are forced to live with a smoker is to continually filter as many of the chemicals from the air as possible.
