Is a cigar considered like alcohol merely because tobacco leaves are fermented, or is it prohibited due to its harm, like other cigarettes?

Fermentation is a chemical process in which organic materials are broken down. This occurs in the tobacco industry (cigars and cigarettes) where leaves are stored in ventilated rooms to induce physical and chemical changes that give tobacco its aromatic flavor and reduce nicotine levels.

Some scholars have mentioned that tobacco is soaked in wine or alcohol during manufacturing to keep it lit and acquire flavor, whether this is proven or not, the prohibition of smoking is established due to its severe health harms to the smoker and those around him.
