A new report released by the CDC reveals that the number of people choosing to smoke cigars is actually on the rise.

The researchers said that one of the reasons for the huge rise in such products could be the federal excise tax enacted in 2009 which led to lower tax rates for cigars, pipe tobacco and loose tobacco products.
“While consumption patterns of traditional cigarettes have continued to decline, when we take into account these alternative cigarette-like products, we’re seeing a lack of change in the overall consumption of burned tobacco that is being inhaled”, one of the authors of the report, Terry Pechacek said.
