Is bidi worse than cigarette: Both bidi and cigarette are smoking products. There was a time when bidi was more popular and then gradually people started smoking cigarettes. Many people argue that smoking bidi is less harmful because leaves are used in it. Whereas many people consider cigarette less dangerous than bidi. According to health experts, no smoking product is safe for the body. However, there is definitely some difference between bidi and cigarette. Experts have told very shocking things about this.
Dr Bhagwan Mantri, pulmonologist at Doctor Mantri Respiratory Clinic in Saket, New Delhi, told AnyTV That bidi is made of leaves and tobacco and some other substances are filled in it. Whereas in cigarette, tobacco is wrapped in a layer of paper. Apart from tobacco, many other chemicals and preservatives are also added in cigarette. Cigarettes are made by machine, while bidi is prepared by hand. Both things contain tobacco and other harmful substances, which pose a serious threat to health. Both bidi and cigarette are harmful for the lungs.
Dr Bhagwan Mantri said that bidi smoke is more toxic than cigarette smoke. Apart from tobacco, bidi contains other harmful substances which dissolve in bidi smoke. There are high amounts of carcinogenic elements in bidi smoke which increases the risk of many deadly diseases including lung cancer, mouth cancer and throat cancer. Cigarettes are also extremely harmful for health. Cigarette smoke contains thousands of chemicals which can cause cancer. Smoking cigarettes can cause many health problems including heart diseases, lung diseases.
According to pulmonologists, cigarette smoke contains nicotine, which causes addiction. It contains harmful substances like carbon monoxide and tar, which cause serious damage to the lungs. Both bidi and cigarette contain a lot of nicotine. By smoking too many bidis, the dangerous elements present in it quickly accumulate in our lungs. This causes the respiratory tract to shrink. This can also cause serious problems like obstructive disease and cancer. However, smoking cigarettes can also cause all these problems and damage the lungs.
In many researches, both bidi and cigarette have been considered equally harmful. Smoking bidi and cigarette for a long time shrinks the respiratory tract and causes mucus problem. It is better to quit both bidi and cigarette. Not only bidi and cigarette, but all things that cause smoking badly affect our lungs and heart health. Pulmonologists say that many times such patients also come who have such problems without smoking bidi or cigarette. The reason for this is excessive air pollution. Living in poisonous air can also cause lung diseases.
