Both are quite harmful.
Smoking a cigarette involves the smoking of the paper wrapped around it also along with the tobacco, which contains more harmful substances to the body than the simple tobacco itself!
So it is ideal to give up all types of smoking!!
Well it depends if you’re talking about JUST tobacco, like shisha, because then it doesn’t have all the crap in it that cigarettes do so you don’t really get addicted. But if you’re just taking the tobacco out of your cigarette and putting it into a pipe, it’s even worse because you don’t have a filter.

I would say cigarettes are definitely more harmful than just taking pure tobacco and smoking it. Cigarettes contain so many different substances in them to get you physically addicted, were talking thousands!
Dont get me wrong… that doesnt mean tobacco is all that great for you either. They both can do their damage.
But if your going to smoke, smoke pure tobacco instead of store bought cigarettes. Atleast with that your not sucking in all that extra crap.

I was told that a pipe smoker only puffs and does not inhale, so that makes cigarettes more harmful. But pipe smoking is also harmful because the risk of mouth and esophageal cancer rises.

If you inhale, yes. If you’ve ever smoked cigarettes, you will inhale if you smoke pipes or cigars. And even if you haven’t, cigarette tobacco is designed to be inhalable, so you’re likely to do it, and you’ll get a lot more tar from inhaling a pipe than from inhaling a cigarette. So I’d stick with pipe tobacco, which smells better, anyway.
