Cigar and Cigarette

[NathanJD]

The biggest difference really is in how both are smoked. Cigarettes are inhaled into the lungs and give you a nasty head rush. They alter your chemical balance for a short time which is why people get addicted to them to the point whereby they have to smoke them continually. Most cigar smokers have a cigar occasionally, but not every day or even more than 1 a day. They will both increase your chances of health risks like the big C whether you smoke 1 or 100,000 of either, certainly more than not smoking. I think the most important difference is that cigar smoking is a choice, and cigarette smoking is an addiction. It's also worth noting that a good majority of cigar smokers don't smoke cigarettes certainly not on this forum, as a previous thread demonstrated.

cigarettes are for the common folk. Cigars are for the wise "do no inhale"

I'm having a newbie question. What are the differences between cigar and cigarette?

Not about the obvious one like sizes. So far I know a cigarette is shredded tobacco roll and wrap with paper; a cigar is tobacco wrapped in a whole leaf tobacco. But apart from it, what make it so different? Are the harmful chemical contain in cigarettes the same with cigars?

Thanks
