Answers:

Anti-tobacco people brainwash people about the dangers of cigars. It is true that they are addictive and dangerous, but no where near as much as cigarettes. One-to-one, a cigar is much worse, but most cigar smokers don't smoke as much as cigarette smokers. A pack-a-day smoker is equal to someone who smokes 2-3 cigars a day, which is a lot. Most cigar smokers smoke 2-3 a week, some are more like 2-3 a month. Any statistics on the dangers of cigars are based on the 2-3 a day numbers. Another aspect of cigar smoking is the inhalation. Cigarette smokers inhale the smoke into their lungs where as cigar smokers only bring the smoke into their mouth. This results in less lung cancer, but higher risks in mouth and throat cancer. The cigar itself also comes into contact with your mouth and that also causes cancer. Cigarette smokers smoke for the nicotine rush. Cigar smokers smoke more for the experience. We enjoy the smell and taste of fine tobaccos along with the relaxation that comes with it. But to just answer your question, yes cigars are addictive, and one-to-one, they are worse. The addiction comes from the nicotine which is in the tobacco and the "worse" factor comes from the carcinogens in the smoke. Cigars are worse simply because there is more tobacco which has more nicotine and creates more smoke with carcinogens. However, most cigar smokers don't smoke frequently enough to become highly addicted to nicotine nor do they smoke as much as cigarette smokers which introduces fewer carcinogens into the body.
