Cigars are not as carcinogenic as cigarettes probably due to the fact that cigar smoke is not usually inhaled. In the early 1900’s cigar smoking was associated with elegance and currently portrays a sense of bravado as demonstrated in this image.

Collage of cigarette advertisements of the early 20th century revealing a portrayal of elegance, feminism, and manhood. The advertising campaigns worked well for the cigarette companies but had a dismal result on health.

The world war brought free cigarettes to the soldiers from the tobacco companies. The effect on the soldiers and the culture was a devastating rise in carcinoma 20 years after the event, with peaks in the incidence of carcinoma in the 1940’s and then in the 1960’s.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH’s) are by products of nicotine and are flat compounds that are similar to benzene in structure. Liver enzymes oxidize the PAH’s making their incorporation into DNA possible. The change in DNA structure leads to interference in function and a predisposition to carcinogenesis.

The flattened diaphragms in a are a clue to the hyperinflated lungs, confirmed by the architectural distortion, loss of structural integrity, and large bullous spaces particularly in the right upper lobe.(b,c,) The cachexia characterized by loss of the subcutaneous fat and muscle is also characteristic of the disease(d).

The CT scan through the chest of an 80 year old male shows a large lung mass in the posterior aspect of the right upper lobe (overlaid in green) and3 small nodules in the left upper lobe (overlaid in green). The patient is obviously a smoker and the incriminating pack of cigarettes is identified in his right shirt pocket containing 9 cigarettes. The lung cancer was shown to be an adenocarcinoma The pathology of the nodules may either represent metastatic disease or multicentric foci of bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma. Associated finding of a thinned anterior junction line suggests hyperinflation and emphysema, and the thickened bronchial walls noted in the right lung suggest chronic bronchitis. Saber shaped trachea is also reminiscent of emphysema. The patient is emaciated, a finding that relates both to his chronic lung disease and his cancer.
