I don’t smoke, but in the office we started talking about the different between light and regular cigarettes. From what I can find online, the only difference is small holes in the filter of light cigs that "trick" a machine into thinking it’s inhaling less bad stuff because the machine only smokes from the very end of the cigarette, and some smoke escapes from these holes. Since humans put their whole mouths on the filter, they cover these holes, meaning there’s basically no difference with regular cigarettes after all. So why then do they feel different when you smoke them? Thanks to anyone who can settle this office debate!
No, there’s more tobacco in regular cigs and different ingredients which give them a hotter and thicker taste.

“Light” cigarettes can deliver the same levels of tar and nicotine to smokers as regular cigarettes. How have cigarette companies advertised this fact?
choices:
1. By putting it in really tiny type at the bottom of cigarette packs.
2. By not saying anything.
3. By advertising them as less harmful anyway!
4. By apologizing.
can anyone help?
Cigarette companies sell a product that is the number one cause of death in America and get away with it, people who smoke light and ultra light cigarettes often will get lung cancer starting deeper in the lungs due to the habit of inhaling more to get the smoke out of the cigarette. Even with packs going for 6 bucks here in Florida people are still paying hard earned dollars to slowly kill themselves. The light and ultra light cigarettes are just as dangerous as regular cigs, when the Government bans the use of those labels they will just switch to a new labeling tactic.
