Cigarette is killing you physically while gambling is killing you mentally. Both are addiction but if I were to choose among them on what's worse between them, I choose gambling. Cigarette isn't expensive compared to gambling. In gambling, you can easily lose money. Losing money can affect you mentally and emotionally. You might end up getting stressed or even depressed about it...
It only takes tenths or hundreds or continuous losing and you'll end up with nothing, while in cigarette addiction, you can take a lot cigarettes before you can feel the pain it can cause you

I think stress and depression isn't so problematic like a deathly infirmity on the lungs. That is why I think cigarettes are much worse than gambling. Even the worse diseases you can obtain by gambling aren't so bad like the ones you can obtain by smoking.
Money can be easily acquired, but health is too precious to be wasted...

But stress and depression can cause deathly because if we cannot think how to solve the problem, we will end up our lives without thinking about too long. There are so many stories that tellings about one person killing himself because of stress and depression.

Both cigar and gambling addiction can ruin our lives for a long time. Cigar addiction can cause a health problem, while gambling can create a money problem. So both are worse, and we need to give attention to take care of ourselves, not too addicted to cigar and gambling. Smoking and playing gamblings are okay, but too much cigar and too often to playing gambling can kill you someday. So you know how to react with cigar and gambling addiction, and I hope that we can prevent ourselves from that addiction.

Lets put it this way. Your health is your biggest wealth. So if you are not healthy because of the complications caused by your cigar addiction, you cant play your favorite game in real life even online if you are bed ridden already. Even if you stop your cigar addiction, it already caused a damage in your lungs. That's why I always challenge those who ask me to try smoking, give me 3 health benefits of smoking and I will start smoking, sorry to those who smoke, I respect your decision to try smoking. No offense.

Perspective. But from my experience,,, I have to say gambling is worse. Cigarettes are bad but I know a lot of people who smoke, and they destroy themselves slowly maybe and also maybe others for 2nd hand smoke.

But gambling? I have seen this destroy families and friendships. People turn into crazy monsters who borrow and borrow and their lives go into ruin.

I know this topic was, but I'm interested in explaining why you would compare these two things that have only one thing in common, addiction. Why compare them if they are two different terms.
Eg for cigars we give money and have no profit, while for gambling we give money and there is a possibility of getting money. In the world, these two topics are crucial, but why Huh

Whether the addiction is a mental deficiency or simply as a love for something?
When someone loves a sport is he or she addicted?

I would like to say that i can quit gambling for a long time period and it's easier then quitting tobacco for me. But definition of gambling is quite vague, and comes big a broad spectrum like addiction itself. Is investing in altcoins itself gambling? I would like to think not and i like to think that i know what i am doing, but i am a little biased on this subject.
Some would say that everything i do in life is more or less gambling anyway.

I don’t think quitting gambling is so easy, if you can quit gambling at will that means you aren’t addicted, if you have suffered or know anyone that has suffered from gambling addiction then you would understand better. It’s better to be addicted to cigar or tobacco than gambling

Fully support this view

If you have a strong addiction to things like alcohol, drugs, or if you are a gambling addict, these addictions are there for life, and it is very hard, if not downright impossible, to get rid of them. The sad irony (which is often overlooked) is that people who can free themselves of these ruinous dependences on their own are unlikely to turn into addicts in the first place. It is those who can't that become addicted

Quote from: o48o on November 03, 2019, 02:46:36 PM

I have seen and know a lot of people that have been addicted to cigar and then stop it when they wish to but this is impossible with gambling addicts

Smoking is also difficult to drop

I know many people who had been claiming in the broad daylight they could easily stop smoking, but eventually they started smoking again. On the other hand, some people are smoking without getting addicted to this habit at all, and they could quit smoking cold-turkey if they chose so. It is all in one's mental makeup

A lot of gambling addicts have to visit a rehabilitation center to be able to say goodbye to gambling but not always the same with cigarette addicts, the few people that are addicted to cigar and that has a need to visit re bah do not even spend much time at the center before recovering to become better persons.

Choosing between cigar addiction and gambling addiction is like choosing between health problems and money problems. One can smoke a cigar and gamble within reason, but in terms of addiction, health problems would be far worse, especially if one gets something like lung or tongue cancer from cigar addiction

It is unlikely you are going to develop these maladies in a year or so

But you can ruin your own life and the lives of your dear ones within months due to uncontrollable gambling (what gambling addiction basically amounts to). And with excessive gambling you are bound to have serious health issues as well eventually. The connection may seem less obvious but that doesn't make these issues less real or less severe. After reading posts in this thread it is difficult to avoid drawing a conclusion that many fellow posters have little understanding of what real addiction is or how dangerous it can be

Obviously the addiction that risk health is the worse and more dangerous that we shouldn't tolerate in ourselves. Well, even gambling can really affect our health especially the mental health, cigar addiction is more complex and can destroy your whole career.

Quote from: LbtalkL on November 04, 2019, 09:08:46 PM

Gambling addiction is worst for me, In cigar your health is at risk it will slowly kill you alone but if you have gambling addiction and you have a family to provide and support, the future of your family is at risk not only you so it is much worst. But it depends on the situation, If you won more than you lose on gambling.

Having cigar addiction will also consume your money to buy packs of cigars. I think it's the same with gambling addiction. You can't define that it will slowly kill you because sometimes the slow process becomes an instant.

That’s normal specially when you are betting high amount,that’s the feeling of being afraid to lose and excited to win.i have same feeling when playing and I think all of us here are having the same

Exactly the thing mate,because life is more important than money.we can live simple without money but we cannot live wealth if our health is at risk
Lung cancer will sure kill us soon,while gambling won’t kill us that early

That is the problem with gambling. Gamblers do not realize the destructive nature of this game because it ruins them slowly. Whereas, body diseases do show their symptoms beforehand. Now gambling also involves money due to which it is easy for most of the players to become greedy and try making it as an income source. Many also try to recover their loses and eventually lose more.

Devil's advocate anyone?

What if someone doesn't have a family? Will that make smoking worse for them than gambling? Also, have you heard about division of property? If you have that in marriage, bad choices of a spouse won't affect the whole family that much. Another point is that you can be addicted to gambling and spend only your personal money on it, the money you got left after covering all the bills and feeding your family, money you'd otherwise saved up or spent on your hobbies.

Smoking on the other hand affects the health of people around you. The family of a smoker after 10 years with him will have an increased risk of lung cancer, just like him.

but what about ciggarites smoking ? when you smoke you also risk the health of the people around you like your family if your smoking at home or on the other people if your smoking outside but there is no way to win on smoking but on gambling there is a way that you can win and that can turn into benifits for you and the people around you . itll just depend on the person because not all are gamblers and not all are smokers but there are type of people that can be able to do both

Cigarette smoking and gambling are two different activities that one can get addicted to it. Each of them is harmful in a way. Gambling can ruin the financial standings of any individual and this can make that person resort to social vices such as stealing, promiscuity etc. On the other hand, smoking cigarette can harm the one doing it as well as standby neighbours who are classified as second hand smokers. Cigaretter smokers earn up with heart problems as well as serious and complicated lung diseases.
What ever your case maybe do everything in moderation and abstain from these if you can!

I disagree.

My grandmother do have an addiction to cigarettes since she was just a teenager, she told us that she stopped smoking for a week but once she was seeing other people who are smoking, she can't resist the hunger of her lips to light up a cigarette, and now she's 74 years old and still smoking, but not those cigarettes that have manufacturers, she have her own tobacco garden and it is the one she is smoking, much healthier I guess.

You see, addictions are all the same, you can't control it, even if you wanted to, it became a part of yourself.

I also think that both addictions are pretty noxious. Also, both addictions lead you to waste a lot of money. But you can at least control your emotions while gambling to save your health. Smoking inevitably hurts your health at the same time. I'd better choose gambling rather than smoking cigars.

Gambling addiction. At least it's tickling your brain, not lungs.

Now, seriously - it's best to have full control over your desires and body and avoid both.
Smoking will slowly kill you.
Gambling addiction will destroy your life and family. You may even prefer at some point to be dead.

Everything is OK until you have control over it. If you don't - seek help before it's too late.

Yes, the problem with addiction is self control. Indeed, when someone has been addicted to anything at least they no longer have good self control but as long as they can enjoy cigarettes and gambling in a reasonable stage then I think it doesn't matter too if indeed he has a healthy lifestyle like sports and other activities.

I have suffered addiction and I can explain that sometimes we cannot explain exactly the reason it happened. I always thought I was highly disciplined and I understood the rule of quitting at a specified time but gambling obviously proved me wrong. I discovered I couldn't just control myself whenever it came to gambling and at that point I knew I wasn't on track.

I am convinced that gambling addiction has nothing to do with self-control and in my opinion, gambling is just naturally addictive and anyone could fall victim as a constant players hence I would say that cigar addiction is much better because this one is self-inflicted and can be controlled but gambling addiction is mysterious and to control or put a stop to it is always a great challenge.

Even though both addictions can give a worse thing for us, we don't have to go deeper on that both addiction. Yes, health will become an important thing that needs our attention because without having a healthy body, we cannot do anything we want. But addiction to gambling will not be good for us too because that will not give us a chance to make money.

If we care about our life, we need to reduce addiction in a cigar. And if we care about our money, we need to reduce addiction to gambling. But if we don't care about our life and our money, then you can still smoke a cigar while you can playing gambling too. You have your choice, and you know what the consequences are, so be careful.
