“mini cigars” vs cigarettes?
Question by eesseeee: “mini cigars” vs cigarettes?
I would think that mini-cigars are worse for you to smoke than cigarettes? But my boyfriend thinks that they are better for you somehow lol.. and I just plain don’t know.. and im talking about the filtered flitered mini cigars like the brand “prime time” versus filtered cigarettes.so the question is.. what’s the difference, and which one is worse?and I don’t want to here wah wah they suck.. I just want the facts. END.http://cancercontrol.cancer.gov/tcrb/monographs/9/m9_1.PDFClearly, cigar smoke is as, or more, toxic and carcinogenic thancigarette smoke; and differences in disease risks produced by using cigarettesand cigars relate more to differences in patterns of use, and differences ininhalation, deposition and retention of cigarette and cigar smoke than tothe differences in smoke composition

Both suck.
What do you think? Answer below!
There aren’t any good studies on mini cigars versus cigarettes, so it’s impossible to really KNOW which are better for you.
It’s also worth noting that while people say that mini cigars are a higher quality product, not all of them are actually higher quality than cigarettes. It varies from company to company. The actual difference between a mini cigar and a cigarette is that mini cigars use tobacco products for the entire item (except for a filter), but cigarettes use paper for the wrapping.
The reason people say that mini cigars are better is that cigars aren’t supposed to be inhaled, but cigarettes are. If you don’t inhale, you don’t get the nicotine or the same experience. You also don’t get the same exposure to the dangerous chemicals, so it’s healthier. If he’s inhaling, then there is no reason to think that a filtered mini cigar would be better or worse than a filtered cigarette.
Any studies, blogs, or articles that claim otherwise are comparing cigar smokers who either don’t inhale or who don’t smoke very much (it’s common to stick to just one or two cigars a day) with cigarette smokers who do inhale and who smoke more.
both suck you got stressed just smoke a joint
dont inhale the cigars!
Regardless of the size there are a few differences between the two. First chemicals are added to cigarettes not cigars. Cigars are wrapped in a natural tobacco leaf cigarettes are rolled in some type of paper witch one can only assume has numerous additives. Not to mention the biggest difference is you inhale cigarettes you don’t inhale cigars. Hope this helps!
It depends on whether or not you inhale the cigars. But don’t worry about it, there is not enough difference to matter. Smoke whichever one you prefer, or both, if you like.
