Unfiltered Cigarettes Worst
Thun and colleagues tracked the smoking habits of nearly 1 million adults (age 30 and older) for 6 years. They compared the type of cigarette smoked with deaths from lung cancer. Cigarettes were categorized based on tar content: very low tar (0-7 mg tar per cigarette), low tar (8-14 mg tar per cigarette), medium tar (15-21 mg per cigarette), or high tar (22 mg or more per cigarette).
As expected, people who never smoked had the lowest risk of lung cancer. Smokers had a substantially higher risk, and there was virtually no difference between those who smoked low or very low tar brands and those who smoked regular cigarettes.
People who smoked the high tar cigarettes, however, had an even higher risk of lung cancer than other smokers, perhaps because all of the high tar brands were unfiltered. All of the low and very low tar cigarettes were filtered, as were 99% of the medium tar cigarettes.
All of them
any of the cigarettes r bad 4 u! i don't think there is a good cigarette.
They are all bad but unfiltered are the worst. Cigarettes are not necessarly safer becuase they are light or ultra light, those can be just as bad. There is a medication called Chantix my friends husband used to quit smoking and he smoked more then a pack a day it worked. She can get it from her dr. Hope this helps.
Their all equally dangerous. If she wants to get lung cancer and die a slow painful death, that's her choice unfortunately.
The ones that burn..
"Many smokers choose “low-tar,” “mild,” “light,” or “ultra-light” cigarettes because they think that these cigarettes may be less harmful to their health than “regular” or “full-flavor” cigarettes. Although smoke from light cigarettes may feel smoother and lighter on the throat and chest, light cigarettes are not healthier than regular cigarettes. The truth is that light cigarettes do not reduce the health risks of smoking."
there are any urban legends perpetuated about menthols. "newports have fiber glass in them" is an example of such an urban legend.
"Menthols are rumored to contain fiberglass. According to this canard, the evil cigarette companies secrete the substance in the product in an effort to better transmit that menthol sensation and nicotine kick by way of causing tiny cuts in the smoker's throat and mouth. This same rumor also attaches to smokeless (chewing) tobacco, especially to the Kodiak brand.
There's no fiberglass in cigarettes."
another menthol urban legend is that they are worse for you then non-menthols. again, this is nothing but urban legend.
"A so-far unsuccessful lawsuit brought against the tobacco industry in 1999 suggested that menthol compounds, when burned, create toxic substances that make such cigarettes more dangerous than others. The plaintiffs have so far failed to establish this point, although government studies concede that the more soothing flavor of menthols might induce smokers to inhale more deeply, thus leading to a higher cancer rate among menthol smokers. "
the fact of the matter is all cigarettes are equally bad. brands mean nothing.
They are all nutritious.
