Mild, Light and Low Tar Cigarettes to be Banned
June 16, 2010
Light or mild cigarettes are the most popular selling tobacco cigarettes and are set to be phased out as part of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.
Tobacco companies pushed certain cigarettes as ‘light, mild or low tar,’ insinuating these are healthier than regular full strength cigarettes. Consumers believe falsely that they are smoking less harmful cigarettes. However, research has shown that so-called low, mild and light cigarettes are just as harmful.
Anti-smoking groups and smoking awareness organisations such as the American Lung Association are hoping smokers will see this as a good time to quit.
Many people are unaware that it is the toxic smoke itself which is harmful and not the nicotine. People who smoke tobacco mild, light or low tar cigarettes are still inhaling the thousands of toxins from tobacco smoke.
By comparison, the electronic cigarette does not burn any substance and the user does not inhale any physical smoke. Electronic smoking allows the inhaling of a flavoured nicotine vapor given the appearance of smoke, but in reality this mist like vapor is more comparable to steam from a kettle.
