Pipe tobacco, cigars and cigarettes all contain nicotine, which means they are all addictive, and this means quitting smoking is equally as difficult. The only smoker that might have an advantage is the pipe or cigar smoker that does not inhale the smoke, and it is only a small advantage. This is because even by not inhaling the smoke still in some amount will travel to the lungs where it can cause both addiction and damage.
There are many quit smoking aids that can be taken advantage of and are not specifically made to be used by cigarette smokers, they are made to be used by anyone that smokes, which includes the pipe or cigar smoker. The important thing to realize is that any type of tobacco that is smoked, whether it is menthol, regular or flavored contains nicotine that is highly addictive.
Tobacco in any form has toxins, which include not only nicotine that is addictive, but also contains tar and this is dangerous because it is highly toxic and can cause diseases. Smoking narrows the blood vessels because of these toxic properties, which then can cause heart disease, high blood pressure, impaired blood flow to the lower legs and feet and can cause diseases like asthma and lung cancer. |
