A member asked:
Does the tobacco in cigars have as much junk in it as cigarettes like tar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, and more: Any form of tobacco is harmful to your health - and there is no safe level. Cigars are the same. There's a large number of carcinogens in tobacco, and tar, and they can be even higher than cigarettes. Our media wants you think that cigars are glamorous and not unhealthy. Wrong.
