Cigars have much more nicotine and tar, but are designed to be smoked differently. A cigarette smoker will smoker a cigar like a cigarette. Depending on the cigar, smoked that way they can be anything from the equivalent of 5 - 10 cigarettes each.


Short answer: no improvement.

he is not supposed to actually inhale the smoke.

He's just kidding himself. (Cough, cough!)
When I first saw your question it looked like your mate used to smke 4050 a day! I had visions of him with 10 in his mouth at a time...
As someone who tried this once, I just want to reiterate it is a total waste of time and he his kidding himself. He'd be far better keeping the nicotine (either in patches, gum, spray or lozenges) and cutting back on that as weeks go by.
If a Cigarette smoker goes onto Cigars, he/she will still take some of the smoke down, so it won't do any good at all.


don�t smoke
it�s no joke
you�ll just choke
and then you�ll croak
