Cigars Vs. Cigarettes: Which Is Worse For Your Health?
by : www.backwoods-and-cuban-cigars.info So what is cigars really all about? The following report includes some fascinating information about cigars--info you can use, not just the old stuff they used to tell you. Most everyone has heard about the health risks of smoking both cigars and cigarettes, and the dangers of secondhand smoke. But which is worse? Do smokers really have the advantage over cigarettes smokers? The answer is much more complicated than anyone

ever thought. A Matter of Degree Research from the National Cancer Institute indicates that the health risks posed by both cigarettes and cigars are strongly linked to frequency of use. That is, it's not whether you smoke cigarettes or cigars, but how much and how often you consume them. Individuals who smoke cigarettes on a daily basis are at a greater risk of developing cancer than people who smoke the occasional cigar. That said, evidence indicates that cigars contain many more carcinogens than cigarettes. It also appears that smoke is more toxic than cigarette secondhand smoke. Much of this is due to the fact that cigars are bigger than cigarettes, and thus produce more smoke. If you base what you do on inaccurate information, you might be unpleasantly surprised by the consequences. Make sure you get the whole cigars story from informed sources. To Inhale or Not? Debate has also concentrated on the issue of inhaling nicotine from cigars and cigarettes. Dedicated enthusiasts argue that cigars are less dangerous than cigarettes because they don't require you to inhale as much toxins. The National Cancer Institute's research indicates that both and cigarette smokers are exposed to carcinogens, regardless of whether they inhale or not. Even without inhaling, smokers are still exposing their mouths, tongues, larynxes, and throats to carcinogens. In fact, simply holding an unlit or cigarette between your lips can expose you to carcinogens. Furthermore, when saliva comes in contact with a or cigarette, even momentarily, carcinogens are swallowed. When carcinogens are swallowed, the throat, larynx, and esophagus further become exposed to these toxins and irritants. Cigarette and smokers appear to swallow similar amounts of carcinogens, resulting in approximately the same percentage of risk in developing oral and esophageal cancers. Research indicates that the health risks associated with both cigars and cigarettes may be reduced if the degree inhalation is adjusted. Because most cigarette smokers tend to inhale deeply and smoke on a regular basis, they are at higher risk of developing cancer of the larynx. To get an idea of how inhalation of smoke relates to health risks, the National Cancer Institute tells us that the lung cancer risk of someone who smokes five cigars a day and inhales moderately has about the same risk as someone who someone who smokes one pack of cigarettes a day. Those who only know one or two facts about cigars can be confused by misleading information. The best way to help those who are misled is to gently correct them with the truths you're learning here.

Weekly Special - October 8
A robust blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan long filler leaves wrapped in zesty Honduran binders and wrappers from the La Entrada farm of the famous Oliva Family. These hearty smokes, packed in heavy cedar chests, were formerly available only in select tobacconists (and of course, scurvy discount operations like JR were accidentally not "selected"). I guess that's because they knew that WE WOULD SELL THEM DIRT CHEAP!!! And that's exactly what we're doing with the one and only shipment of these cigars we've ever gotten. You people can thank Old Dominion Truck Lines for this sale, because if they hadn't made a mistake and dropped them off at our place by accident we wouldn't be having this sale! Every size of Don Melo Centenario at HALF PRICE!
