Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

I say yes but thought you might like some information to lock in the fact.

There is more nicotine in one single cigar than in one single cigarette.
Cigars and cigarettes differ in both size and the type of tobacco used. Cigarettes are generally more uniform in size and contain less than 1 gram of tobacco each. Cigars, on the other hand, can vary in size and shape and can measure more than 7 inches in length. Large cigars typically contain between 5 and 17 grams of tobacco. It is not unusual for some premium cigars to contain the tobacco equivalent of an entire pack of cigarettes. U.S. cigarettes are made from different blends of tobaccos, whereas most cigars are composed primarily of a single type of tobacco (air-cured or dried burley tobacco).
Nicotine is the agent in tobacco that is capable of causing addiction or dependence. Cigarettes have an average total nicotine content of about 8.4 milligrams, while many popular brands of cigars will contain between 100 and 200 milligrams, or as many as 444 milligrams of nicotine.

You aren't supposed to inhale cigars, my friend. They aren't smoked like a cigarette. Cigars are smoked for the flavor. You bring the smoke into your mouth, but don't inhale it in your lungs. I suppose breathing in some of the smoke might be a tad inevitable and that might make you a little light-headed, but you aren't meant to breathe the smoke in.

CIGAR = TOBACCO = NICOTINE
