Although cigars have long been lauded for their smooth and complex flavors, they can also pose a great health risk. We have all heard of the adverse health effect associated with smoking cigarettes, but are the risks of smoking cigars just as dangerous, or more so? According to the National Cancer Institute, regular cigar smoking can result in a major health threat. Scientific research has linked cigar smoking with cancers of the larynx, lungs, esophagus, and oral cavity. Newer research also indicates that cigar smoking may be strongly linked to the development of cancer in the pancreas.

The risk of developing lung disease and heart problems appears to increase dramatically in those individuals who smoke regularly and inhale while smoking. To get an idea of how inhalation of smoke relates to health risks, the National Cancer Institute tells us those who smoke five cigars a day and inhales moderately have about the same risk of developing lung cancer as those who smoke one pack of cigarettes (20-25) a day. In addition, someone who smokes three to four cigars a day will be eight times as likely to develop some kind of oral cancer as a non-smoker will. This is the reason that we have stressed that you avoid inhaling cigar smoke throughout the book. While there is still great uncertainty about how little smoking could be considered safe, the risk of dying from all causes is statistically insignificant when compared to non-smokers and greatly reduced compared to heavy cigar smokers. Therefore, aim to smoke no more than three cigars per week.

Many individuals wonder if cigars are as addictive as cigarettes. You may also wonder why, for instance, so many people become addicted to cigarettes, and not cigars? The truth is that any tobacco product can become addictive because it contains nicotine, which is a stimulant that produces a sense of euphoria. Witness the effects of smokeless tobacco products on individuals.

These products, such as chewing tobacco, can become very addictive, simply because they contain tobacco, which in turn contains nicotine.

If nicotine is so addictive, why don't more cigar smokers smoke more often? It appears that more people avoid becoming 'hooked' on cigars for several reasons. The most obvious reason is that the nicotine is inhaled much more superficially than in regular cigarette smoking, causing less nicotine to be absorbed by the body. In addition, cigars are not as readily accessible as cigarettes. They are viewed by most as a luxury item, saved for special occasions and used infrequently. However, when cigars are smoked on a regular basis, they can become addictive.

Remember: the health risks of any kind of smoking increase dramatically as frequency of use increases.
