In other research [2] published by the FDA, primary cigar smokers consumed on average about one and a half cigars per day when they smoked.
This is relevant to a key epidemiology principle: the level of risk is related to the level of exposure. Several studies in the Chang review reported results for smoking one or two cigars per day. Here are those results:. While some risk estimates are elevated, none are statistically significant. The highest risks are for larynx cancer, but they are based on only two deaths in Shanks and one death in Shapiro. Pop Develop Rev. Sheps MC.

This helps to explain why people who smoke menthol cigarettes and get lung cancer often have their cancers located in certain parts of the lung.
It also might be a reason why it is harder for people who smoke menthol cigarettes to quit. The specific dangers of menthol cigarettes are an active area of research, but they are at least as dangerous as unflavored cigarettes.
It's important to note the tobacco industry often targets African Americans for the sale of menthol cigarettes. Many people view cigar smoking as more sophisticated and less dangerous than cigarette smoking. Yet one large cigar can contain as much tobacco as an entire pack of cigarettes. The fermentation causes chemical and bacterial reactions that change the tobacco.
This is what gives cigars a different taste and smell from cigarettes. Cigars come in many sizes:. This could be because cigar smoke tends to irritate the nose, throat, and breathing passages. A new trend among cigar companies is to change the fermenting process to make cigar smoke easier to inhale. The filters on the smaller cigars also help people inhale. Cigarettes have an average of about 8 milligrams mg of nicotine, but only deliver about 1 to 2 mg of nicotine.
Many popular brands of larger cigars have between and mg, or even as many as mg of nicotine. No matter the size, cigars are tobacco, and the smoke from them contains the same cancer-causing substances found in cigarette smoke. All cigars are dangerous to your health. People who smoke regular cigars are 4 to 10 times more likely to die from cancers of the mouth, throat, larynx, and esophagus than people who don't smoke cigars.
For those who inhale, cigar smoking appears to be linked to death from cancer of the pancreas and bladder, too. Smoking more cigars each day or inhaling cigar smoke leads to more exposure and higher health risks. The health risks linked to occasional cigar smoking less than daily are less clear.
