Cigars with additives, well, it depends upon the additive doesn't it? Inhaling smoke with sugar residues could be bad, especially long term.

There's a thought.
When tobacco is cured it has to be washed carefully and thoroughly to take the awful tasting sticky resin off the leaves (I forget what it's called).
Poorly processed tobacco could leave that residue, and poor aging can change the properties of tobacco substantially to the negative.
