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 believe addiction of any sought is bad and hampers physical and mental health. But if had to select either of two, i would certainly tag cigar addiction as worse. Beside deteriorating one's health, cigar has no monetary benefit unlike gambling where you might earn a fortune out of your addiction and sheer luck. For cigar, you just give out money and never get back any, unless it is a change Cheesy

Gambling is worse, although there is a chance to get money, but the risk of losing money will be more. addicted to cigarettes for me it's a sensation to feel something.
but of course for health, it is not good, but in the end, everyone will die without or smoking.

Both addictions can be bad if this will not care in moderation. But in my view, gambling addiction will be the worse by having this in our life there would be negative effect mentally, emotionally and physically. The more you lose the more eagerness to get back the money you lose in gambling. For cigar addiction were the one could suffer but this could stop if we're not feeling okay.

For me cigar addiction is far more better than gambling addiction.
In cigar you are the only one who is going to suffer if you wouldn't let your kids or family inhale the smoke or be a second hand smoker.
But in gambling the stress and negativity would affect your emotion and how you communicate and it could destroy your family.

If you said that, then gambling addiction would be the worst, compare to cigar addiction. But after thinking for a while, maybe that is true because when we have a gambling addiction, we can lose everything, and we will be hard to stop. But we can stop cigar addiction when we are getting a heavy cough because that will not be good for our health. We can choose two options, we want to get a healthy life, or we can still cough, and we cannot cure ourselves.

Gambling addiction is a real thing. People don't generally give importance to it but it could be much more devastating than any other form of addiction as you tend to lose every wealth you have alongside developing mental problems. Though getting of Gambling problem could be easily done, people learn it the hard way.
Gambling addicts has also sometimes turned to other activities due to their unstable mentality, Las vegas shooting last year was from a gambling addict.

It’s quite unfortunate that gambling addiction is not really taken or seen as a serious crime in our various societies because to me, I don’t think there's any worse crime than this. I had a friend in my university days that was a gambling addict and I learnt from his experience that it is always best to quarantine those suffering from gambling addiction because the damage they end up causing to them self's and their friends and families is worse that a virus.

We didn't take my friends excessive gambling habit seriously until he ended up selling his father house, all his assets and he even went into depression at some point. It took divine intervention to help him at that point, it was really terrible.

Well if you consider the scale of what's going to be affected, chances are, gambling addicts will affect more people than cigarette addicts. As you've mentioned, some people would resort to stealing just to fund their habits. Whereas cigarette addiction is more on an individual effect, though for me, it's more severe. Addiction to gambling can be removed. And once a person successfully get rid of that, there's a good chance to recovery. Cancer though gives you less chance of getting your life back.

For me both addiction is bad first yes there is the fact that you can win and earn money from gambling, but when greed developed in yourself then your live or their family if they have will be in a mess, secondly on cigarette it will affect your health and maybe end up getting illness and if that happens you will have to spend for maybe medicine for your illness and based on health department the smoker is not the only one will get affected also the people surround's them they will be more affected than the smoker, so if i choose the i will avoid these two addictions.

Hmm this is actually a difficult question on to which is worse since both have detrimental effects. Maybe we should try to decide based on the timeline?

Short-term: Gambling
Long-term Smoking Cigar

The problem with gambling is that you quickly realize its effects and impacts to your life once you succumb to addiction. You tend to sacrifice your time and resources to bet instead of doing something recreational or helpful. This quickly cascades into a bigger issue if you have a family to support and obligations to meet every week.

With cigar addiction, you will only realize its harmful effects to your body at a certain time and age. People do not quickly get cancer by just smoking a few sticks of cigar but it is a collective action and continuous use that will eventually lead to that.

In the end people keep doing it even though it's bad for the long and short term. But most people are more addicted to gambling than cigars, because there are people who don't smoke but play gambling. For me, I prefer cigar addiction to gambling. Because gambling is very bad, because as you say. We lose a lot of time, money or other things that result in large losses to gambling addiction.

when i was still active or in gambling and addicted in cigarettes ,these comparison does not exist in my mind but not until i quit smoking when i realized how bad it is in my body,the first month i stopped smoking my body starts recovering and coughing leaves me for good,same when i control my gambling habits that i only played once a week and sometimes once a month.my pocket never lose money and so my life changed.

i say this for us to realized that there is many things to enjoy in life than these vices.but if there's one thing to choose i prefer gambling but with moderation

That is what we should learn and know that we can get a better life if we decide to stop cigar and gambling addiction. It's not easy, but at least we can try for our good, so we can change our life to be better than before. We need to build a new habit so we can distract our mind not to think about cigar and gambling. Both cigar and gambling can ruin our life without takes any longer, and if we realize that, we should take care of ourselves to change the bad habit into a good habit.

In my own personal opinion, cigar addiction and gambling addiction are both dangerous because cigarette addiction are dangerous when it comes to your health which it doesn't gives you any benefit, while gambling addiction are dangerous when it comes to your asset which it can lead you to bankruptcy and huge debts, that is why if you are using or doing both of it you should know your limitations because it is both harmful in all aspects of your life.

You are right though, but to an extent I feel cigar addition is even more preferable. I would be having a lot of joy and happiness smoking my cigarettes if I happen to be addicted and if any health challenges would occur in future which is not always common I would be suffering it alone but the bad side of gambling addiction is that it affects everyone around the addicted player.

For instance, a married man who is an addicted gambler would continuously be hurting the 'feelings of his wife and other family members that care about him because they are aware of the monies that have been wasted all because of addiction but In cigar addiction, no one is really concerned.

I wont go for either but if i have to pick up one and don't have a choice, i would certainly not go for cigar addiction. You don't only hurt your health smoking but there are no monetary gains unlike in gambling. For cigar, you just spend money while with gambling addiction you might get return on investment.

But unfortunately most people are addicted to both, smoking while playing gambling. It is true that shop does not benefit anything, but people do it anyway. So I think these two things cannot be separated except for people who don't smoke.

Both can destroy your life and it's on the level of addiction if one guy smoke a pack of cigar daily his life will be in peril in the next two years and it's hard to cure something you get inside your body, than something you put inside your mind, the healing process for cigar will take years while on gambling it will only take months.

Both may not destroy your life if you know your limits. At the same time tobacco in any form may cause cancer in long run similarly gambling even in small amount but in regular basis may end up making you poor over the time. In my opinion, gambling may go balanced like you win and you lose and this process may continue if you are emotionally strong but smoking is like a slow poison which will definitely cannot be justified in for the cold countries.

Quote from: Yatsan on October 27, 2019, 01:33:59 AM

gambling addiction is much easier to cure than cigar addiction. Both are bad, but the worst is cigar addiction.

Both gambling and cigar addiction would be easier to cure when that addicted person cooperates. I too like to conclude both of these addictions are bad and a person must be always conscious on not getting addicted to them. Yes, prevention is much better than suffering and then curing.

Well i think both cigarette and gambling addiction has bad effects and maybe worse effect, but for me they are both worse in their own way, first in cigarette addiction if abused your health will be more affected and of course people surrounds you, there is a studies that the most affected illness cause by cigarette is the people that is near the smokers and inhales the smoke. While gambling well it can mess up your life if not handled properly, so i think both two are worse addiction.

While smoking a cigar has all the ill effects, gambling can have positive outcomes. Unlike gambling, there are no possible monetary benefits from smoking a cigar. While Gambling can make you a fortune, cigar smoking can only reduce your life. Nevertheless , addiction of either cigar or gambling can lead to miserable and toxic life. For me , gambling addiction would win over cigar addiction.

Well it is a fact that both are habit with a word addiction and can both inflict bad effects if abused but with the questions regard on which is worse then i will go in cigar well it is health relate addiction this may cost illness that if gotten worse you will spend a lot of money for medical expenses and worse you will die immidiately if not controled, while yes gambling addiction may also cause serious problems but it can be controlled by rehabilitating or self controlled and people can survive with this addiction than in cigarette.

I prefers gambling to cigar addition as earlier stated a gambler despite having a series of losing streaks a gambler might hit a jackpot and become an instant millionaire while a cigar addiction is injurious to health and are always cautioned "smokers might likely die young" due to its hazardous effects on the internal parts of the body organs, in fact they are incomparable although a gambler might be bankrupt however there is the tendency that he will survive any hardship that arises from his losses.

I am deeply so sorry if this hurts you, but I really feel that you do not so much understand the meaning of addiction, because if you do understand it clearly, you would never really choose one over one because they are all very dangerous.

Gambling addiction is also dangerous to the health because I have seen a lot of addicted gamblers whose life's has been cut short as a result of the huge loses they have made and to think about the pains they always cause their families even make it worse than other forms of addiction. In my opinion, both gambling and cigar addiction are terrible it's not something we can wish for at all.
