What's worse: cigar addiction or gambling addiction

[PryptoMontreal]

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.

Actually, both of them could be harmful to your family in any way. First, gambling could ruin families in the way that you could engulf by your emotions and your behaviour towards your family might change. Cigarette addiction, it's true that your health is the only will be affected but in fact, if you got any medical issue upon using cigar your family will suffer medical expenses. But if I will choose, I would rather have a gambling addiction since I could still entertain myself in playing and there's a chance for me to win.

I agree with your point. Gambling gives an adrenaline rush, a thrill which cigar can never provide. You can turn out to be a winner in gambling but for cigar addiction, you've got nothing to win, just to lose on your health and eventually money.
Keeping the emotional point of view aside, gambling addiction can be more detrimental as compared to cigar's addiction w.r.t to the amount of money which can be lost.
Each cigar = constant cost for 10s of years followed by medical expenses after decades, whereas Gambling = Dynamic amount of money won/lost (mostly lose, that's why casinos are running and making money).

Being more of a practical person, I'd rather be addicted to cigars than gambling.

These two could both ruin our lives without doing it in moderation. We are actually doing smoking and gambling for our own satisfaction but it could actually ruin things if we don't put limits to it. Addiction or too much consumption of anything could cause us harm. Gambling could only ruin us when we are not doing it for entertainment and if we're expecting too much from it. If we'll never know how to consume or do these two in moderation, we could lose our family, assets and even our health.

Cigar or gambling ?
I think both of them have a bad side to health. But if asking who is worse between the two, I will answer gambling will have a greater negative effect on the mental health of players than cigars. Gamblers will be very vulnerable to stress, and I am very sure they will continue to think about how to win for each bet.

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

They are both worst. Although gambling addiction is something you could money in return but usually if the player get too addicted to it, it comes to the point that the player have to sell his/her own house, car or everything that seemed valuable. While on the other hand cigar is something you could have nothing in return but a disease. Well mostly cigar addicted people uses it as a gateway to avoid stress. Bottom line is that they may have differ outputs but once you get addicted to it, it destroys you your health and your wealth.

by taking ciggarette it can relieve your stress but in a bad way and wont also give you returns but in gambling it also ease your stress but you can get something in return if ever you got lucky but gambling cant give you a health disease as long as you control your self from not gambling too much but on cigartte no mater how you control your self from talking it , itll still give you some trace inside your body and the damage will only stock up overtime as long as you continue talking it  .  so my vote for worse addiction will still be cigarrite  .

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.

Smoking is something common in this world even if they know it is harmful for our health but gambling doesn't cause any health related issue other than mentally ill still people portraying it as bad thing we doing.Both are bad and which one is worse is subjective from each personal life style and where they are from and what religion they belong too.

Lol gamblers that addicted turns worst than smoking,there are some of them who jumped in the window of high rise building and some even burned the casino with how many casualties,so both can bring death and there’s no exemptions if we turns addicted

But yeah it’s better to gamble than to smoke.because gambling is easy to heal than smoking

I know that news of an addicted gambler who burned the casino where he used to play because he lose lots of money so its his way to get revenge.

Well both addiction can harm us in different way, but we can stop it if we are willing to change. One thing is for sure every addiction has its bad sides and not good for us.

Well you're right about that i didnt think that a person can do something like that because of addiction, that's why i think everything with addiction word in it is dangerous and will only give bad effects both itself or to others. I also know someone that because he can't control itself from gambling he bet he's own house just to play again because he thinks that he will win the next time he plays but that didnt happen in the end he regret he's action, and also i think alongside gambling addiction is cigarette addiction also.

In my opinion, the harm of addiction to cigarettes or from gambling should be measured only by the degree of danger to others and to your family.  In any case, for smokers today in many countries there are certain laws where they can smoke in designated places without harming others.  Of course, a gambler also plays in special institutions or in an online casino at home, but where does he get money if he has a black streak and he constantly loses?

But for smoking itself is actually not as bad as gambling. When we addicted to gambling, anything can be sold to be able to play the game. and for cigarettes themselves in terms of prices are also cheap. even for my country cigarette excise accounts for a large portion of the state budget. isn't this very helpful? but gambling is still prohibited and also the risk is quite large. people get poor quickly

In some points, smoking is not as bad as gambling but both of them are bad and they can affect anyone's lives.

If you are addicted into gambling, yep anything can be sold and be done to play the game but you can prevent it with the help of other people or relatives. You can say that cigarettes are cheap but the effects of it into our body are far worse compare to gambling addiction. Even in our country, cigarette prices doubled in the last 1-2 years I think and it can increase more in the next years which can help those who are addicted into cigarettes because they can't afford it anymore or maybe they can but they will lessen it because of lack of funds to buy.

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

Addiction is a pathology

So if it is a love for something, it is a pathological love. And the pathological part of it refers to the fact (actually, two facts) that an addict can't willingly stop using or doing something and he understands that it ruins his love (corrected) life. I think it is an important addiction (corrected) addition

In this way, if someone tremendously loves a sport (or a spouse), or some other activity, say, fishing (or someone), but it doesn't hurt him, then we can't call it addiction. And thus we arrive at a conclusion that addiction is a self-destructive love for something (and gambling addiction fits into this definition perfectly)

[doomistake]

Both has risk:

Cigar= Health
Gambling = Addiction/ Mess up ones life

Benefits:

Cigar= I don't see any benefits
Gambling = Entertainment/possible for you to earn money


Both is addictive and if I do have to choose then i'd rather gamble,yes
its way more faster on losing money than cigar but at least I'm not compromising my health.
As we all know that health is wealth.

You don't only risk your health on cigarettes, also your money, although it is both addictions. Addictions is like passions in life, we have our own addictions, you could say that there is no benefits in smoking because you like playing gambling, and other people could say the exact opposite of what you have said. We've been stuck between "living the life to the fullest" and "hesitating" what we have to do in life.

Both smoking and gambling addictions are the worst for me, since I do not have any bad habits.

[airdnasxela]

Both can be worse, the level of addiction is what matters. Because at the end of the day, it's still addiction. Addiction was never healthy mentally. But with cigarette, not only our mental states that are only being affected but our physical health as well. It is slowly killing us. And with gambling, it might not affect us physically, but it can financially.
We can say that one is much worse depending on the effect it brought to a certain person's life. Smoking can lead to sickness while gambling can lead to loss.

That actually remains to be seen

The harsh truth is, gambling does affect us physically. Indeed, it is unlikely to cause lung cancer (though who knows, especially if you are a chain smoker, and partly or fully due to your gambling habits). But it still affects our mental health, and the negative consequences can be far worse than from cigars or smoking in general. People don't commit suicides because of smoking but they do because of gambling, apart from a host of other severe problems that literally destroy human lives in the most physiological sense of the word

[nydiacaskey01]

Cigar addiction is worse, why? Even if you stop smoking, your lungs is already damaged. You cant get a new pair of lungs from any store and have yours replaced. There are even times when you stop smoking, you will feel different and try to smoke again. Unlike gambling addiction, if you stop, you work again and you. can still recover all the money you lost.

One thing I noticed is when you are a cigar addict, more likely you are also a heavy drinker. I have not met a person who smokes a lot but a non-drinker. Both of this goes well together with playing cards with friends at home.

[rdluffy]

Every kind of addiction is bad for health and your finances
Everyone know the bad thing cigars do to health, and they are expensive

With addiction in gambling people can lost more than paper money, there's a stage where people gamble their cars, gold, or even their houses, and there's another problems, because people tends to be anxious, depressed, sad and a lot of more things

[Vispilio]

While addiction by itself is bad enough as it indicates a serious weakness in willpower and character,

if one had to pick one of these gambling would be the safer bet. You can stick with games that give you a statistical edge in the short run through various promotions or playing against other players and even make your gambling experience a net positive sometimes or even overall,

while the negatives are a practically inevitable part of the game if you are into smoking cigars...

There is no doubt in it that gambling damages health of a gambler in its own particular way. Though the player will never get a direct hit which he can sense over his skin, but he will be facing mind troubles. Gambling lays a huge pressure on one’s brain. The loss of money is a big stress. It is not shocking to see gamblers taking their own lives due to their disturbed mental health. Gambling is dangerous indeed.

If we are to look for the worst cigar and gambling addicts in the world and assess their impact, I guess the worst gambling addicts are the ones who caused more misery, trouble, and destruction than the cigar addicts. An addiction to cigar will cause cancer or even death. An addiction to gambling, on the other hand, will cause houses, cars, appliances, lands, and other properties to get pawned or even sold. Moreover, an addiction to gambling might cause robbery, murder, and other crimes. Cigar addiction will not cause all these.

[White Christmas]

If I am in a place where I can choose between cigar addiction or gambling addiction I will pick cigar addiction because in cigarettes It helps me to release my stress or relieved my stress in order to think well although I may get some sick or lung cancer I will go here because this may help me to think and relax, while gambling is you can have a possibility to gain and win a huge amount of money but there is no guaranteed that you can really won or maybe you can lose a huge amount of money because of addiction and greediness.
