Fire Breathing is aspirated fuel through a flame.
Fire eating is, at it's base, a lit torch held in the mouth.

Breathing is more dangerous.

And you don't die from one inhalation on fire eating. That is an extreme fallacy. In fact, there are many fire eating stunts that involve slight inhalations. I've known fire eaters who have been doing it 50+ years. They are missing their teeth and their sense of taste but they are not dead.

The same can not be said for all Fire Breathers I have known.

One of the major things I learned from them is that just because they are pros for years doesn't mean they have done their research and know all the dangers...especially as information is updated over time.

However, the more you post the more it seems like an ad for your "friend" rather than a serious discussion.

I dunno about that really... there seems to be a lot more that one can do with fire eating than Fire Breathing... Fire Breathing is a bit like "woaaah! Thats a big flame!"

Anything else? "Nah, sorry.. thats about it"

Whereas eating can have a few different maneuvers, especially in the way its presented, tracing and whatever else.

*HISS!!!* Extreme fallacy has been spoken here!!! Fire Eating is SOOOO much better than Fire Breathing. Gah! Like said above theres only one thing you can do! WOOSH! And its done. You can do something similar with fire eating but You can make it look like a tongue coming out of your mouth or a cloud of fire floating out. Not just BAM... okay thats it. ALSO can you be sexy or mesmerizing with Fire Breathing? I think NOT! I've seen people see Fire Breathers and be like "O thats neat" and walk on. Wen people watch fire eaters there tends to be a crowd of eek as they watch you do an array of amazing/sexy/mezmerizing things with the fire. Psh, Fire Breathing not as good as fire eating *Walks away muttering under breath*

"Which is best" is just like the Marmite/Vegemite/Nutella question - a matter of personal taste.
Which is most dangerous? Lets face it, your doctor would be highly unlikely to encourage you to do either, but at the end of the day its down to you, your preparation and safety precautions.

The most important thing I learned form the guy who taught me was: If in doubt DON'T DO IT.
