Could cigar smoking affect blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes...makes it high: Cigars, similar to cigarettes, contain a compound called nicotine. Nicotine is a known stimulant that can raise blood pressure. It also causes your blood vessels to constrict in your extremities. This can also raise your blood pressure.
