Alternative To Smoking Cigarettes

How many times more dangerous are Cigars compared to Cigarettes?
My friend has gave up smoking cigarettes in favour of smoking cigars.

I am worried he is doing serious damage to his health. Can anybody help me with some facts to point out. Cheers in advance.

There was an unfortunate study way back in the 60s which suggested that cigar and pipe smoking were significantly less dangerous than cigarette smoking. As a result many cigarette smokers converted to one of these alternatives. The bad news eventually emerged that though pipe or cigar smokers who had NEVER smoked cigarettes were at less risk, ( but not of course no risk,) as their smoking/inhalation techniques were different, Cigarette smokers who chance to cigars or pipes do not however reduce their risks from smoking.
