Bidis - originated in India and south east Asia . They have less tobacco but deliver 4-5 times more nicotine along with tar and carbon monoxide . So bidis are no safer than cigarettes and as they are unfiltered also they are indeed more harmful
Hookah- Here the tobacco mixture is heated using charcoal. They are no safer than cigarettes , rather they might be more harmful as they have more tar, carbonmonoxide , nicotine and heavy metals than cigarettes . The charcoal also produces more carbonmonoxide and toxins
Cigars – one cigar would have as much tobacco as an entire pack of cigarettes .Little cigars look like cigarettes and come in a pack of 20 and are smoked like cigarettes True cigars have as much of tobacco as an entire pack of cigarettes .Cigrattes have 8 mg of nicotine. Cigars have approx 100-200 mg of nicotine
