Absolutely. Nicotine will never compare, hand-rolled tobacco is far superior.

I smoke Nicaraguan cigars. Japanese people smoke more cigarettes per capita than the US, but have much lower rates of lung cancer. Some theories are lung cancer is caused by the type of fertilizer used in the US, the filter material, or additives to the tobacco. In the US, lung cancer can also be attributed to diesel exhaust, and radon gas.
"Exposure to the combination of radon gas and cigarette smoke creates a greater risk for lung cancer than either factor alone. Most radon-related lung cancers develop in smokers. However, radon is also thought to cause a significant number of lung cancer deaths among non-smokers in the United States each year."
Radon and Cancer
To be honest, I am not sure because the only times I used patches I didn't like the feeling, so I stopped using them. The benefits outweigh the negatives for me for tobacco, so I try not to worry about it. I just limit tobacco to times when I think it will help or I get a craving. It is anywhere from 1-4 cigarettes a day, but I go periods without it too.
It might be other things that make me prefer smoking for it's gut effect - I squat when I smoke to enhance its 'motility' effect, and I actually don't like smoking at all unless I am squatting. The likelihood I will have a bowel movement is enhanced like 50% if I squat and smoke at the same time. I wonder if the act of slowing down breathing during smoking is part of it too.
I can also smoke at night when I couldn't drink a coffee, otherwise I get insomnia. Smoking only induces sleep for me if it promotes a bowel movement. Smoking is the closest thing to coffee and I find coffee to be the best thing for my gut other than fat (and lots of it).

Interesting about the Japanese thanks, I hadn't heard of Radon Gas issues before and I just looked it up the government here has a map of the levels. I used to work as a car mechanic and can vouch for the diesel fumes (I prefer petrol fumes)
There's no dump like a cigar dump. Get yourself a Partagas Serie D, a cool glass of Coke, some music and a book, and let the magic happen
I appreciate the suggestion, I just checked and can get them here. When I accomplish my next big goal I will do this to celebrate.
I have been rolling my own cigarettes on and off for over a year at 3 grams of tobacco per day (approximately 3-4 tailor made cigarettes)
Recently I stopped smoking for a break and started chewing nicotine gum to make the transition smoother and nicotine is just not the same, no doubt nicotine is a powerful substance but I now am more interested in the other 4000 alleged substances in tobacco. I think the monamine oxidase A and B inhibition effects are from other substances in tobacco not only nicotine.
To me its swallowing a caffeine tablet vs drinking a strong coffee.
I have considered getting into vaping nicotine but I don't see the value. If I decide to start smoking again I will buy a 'Tar Guard' (as Hunter S Thompson used) to make smoking safer.

How enhanced is his bowel movement going to be after that smoke?
I saw a quote once that said 'Flue cured tobacco is the biggest health crisis of the 20th century'
This is what they use to cure cigarette tobacco so it can be inhaled. Of course smoke should not be inhaled into the lungs.
Interesting - but how true is this - anymore info?
The science of flue-curing making the smoke more acidic and therefore easier to inhale can be verified with your favourite online search website
As for inhaling combustion by-products being a health risk...I'm happy to take their word for it. I did have a look for the precise quote but could not find it where I thought I'd read it (Smoke Screens: The Truth About Tobacco)
Well how is it working otherwise? The correct method is to absorb the compounds while they're inhaled into your mouth - and therefore we don't take a full breath in and should not cure? I realize it is Googleable, but this idea isn't discussed very often :)
How is what working? I think your next sentence is quite correct, although tobacco needs to be cured. Cigar tobacco is air cured and has no additives or paper.
Cigarettes are to smoking what junk food is to food, a bastardised version of something derived for profit and 5 mins of 'pleasure'. Once again 'traditional' methods turn out to be superior
I like to do this with black coffee and a cigarette, it's like hurricane Irma running through my anus.
