Are hookahs better or worse than cigars?

Similar: I don't know the exact conersion of hookahs to cigars. For 1 hour use of a hookhah it is the same as smoking an entire pack of cigarettes. Best to stay away from this as i suspect cancer risk may be the same or worse than standard tobacco.

I smoked heavily (either hookah, cigar, vape, cigarettes) 1-3 days a week for one year. It has been 2 years since I have completely quit. I am wondering if 2 years is enough to consider my related health risks lowered and equivalent to a non smoker?
