Non-cigarette tobacco products, including cigars, pipes, and smokeless tobacco, also contribute to increased cardiovascular risks. 

Current cigar use is associated with a higher risk of stroke, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure. Notably, individuals who solely or exclusively use cigars face an even higher risk of stroke. 

Pipe use is linked to an elevated risk of heart failure, while exclusive pipe use increases the risk of myocardial infarction. 

Smokeless tobacco use is particularly associated with coronary heart disease mortality and myocardial infarction. Both exclusive and sole use of smokeless tobacco are linked to higher risks of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), coronary heart disease, heart failure, and all-cause mortality. 

Different tobacco products present varying levels of cardiovascular risk, with smokeless tobacco posing some of the highest risks.
