4. JUST THE FACTS:
- It was estimated that 19.6 percent of the adult population were
current cigar smokers in 2000
- Cigars contain the same addictive, toxic and carcinogenic
compounds found in cigarettes. In fact, cigar smokers may spend up
to an hour smoking a single large cigar that can contain as much
tobacco as a pack of cigarettes
- Cigar smokers experience higher rates of lung cancer, heart
disease, and chronic obstructive lung disease than nonsmokers.
Studies show that men who smoke at least three cigars a day are two
to three times more likely to die of lung cancer than non-smokers.
- Secondhand cigar smoke has much higher concentrations of toxins
and carcinogens than do cigarettes. Health effects on nonsmokers
exposed to cigar smoke have not been studied, but it is assumed to
mirror or be greater than that seen with cigarette smoking.
