Is cigar or pipe smoking a healthier alternative to dipping tobacco?

Are these two options healthier in any respect? Pipe and cigar smoking are "healthier" than cigarette smoking because smoke is not inhaled to the same extremity.
So
If a person has dipped for half of their life would you say that it is a risk reduction to switch to cigar/pipe smoking
since
(it is switching from mainly exposing ones mouth to carcinogens and risk of cancer to mainly exposing ones throat to carcinogens and cancer)
?

While not without health risks, cigar and pipe smoking is a much safer alternative to cigarette smoking. Cigar and pipe tobacco is not treated with the chemicals that cigarette tobacco is. Pipe and cigar smokers don’t intentionally inhale the smoke. Pipes and cigars are made for flavor and aroma, where a cigarette is for nicotine delivery.

    I am not an expert, but I would think you’re trading one risk for another. And if you already have pre-cancerous cells developing in your mouth now, you won’t stop them by switching. You may just end up with 2 different forms of cancer.

    That is very hard to answer, impossible, really, since the amount is in doubt. If they are serious about a much healthier alternative, they should buy some Commit nicotine lozenges, it will give them the nicotine they want without the carcinogens.

    Nope, there is no such thing as a "healthier alternative" when you’re talking about smoking tobacco of any kind.
