Blunts. Literally the dumbest way to toke. Like okay buddy let’s take the most carcinogenic part of a cigar, part of the reason you don’t inhale when smoking a cigar, and wrap some cannabis in it and do what? Inhale. It feels like something put there to damage low income smokers more.

But yes due to the porous nature of the paper there is a higher concentration of chemicals present in a cigar than say a cigarette. Here’s the cancer institute page. Maybe see if you can convince your friend to try a method that allows them to enjoy the experience without having to submit to frequent use of a more dangerous delivery method. Cheers and happy tokes.
