Light Cigarettes Aren't Light - GoFuckYourself.com

People who smoke light cigarettes are likely in for a shock. They're getting just as much tar and nicotine as with normal cigarettes, new research shows. Yet most smokers think light brands are less dangerous.

When people switch to light cigarettes, they puff harder, make more frequent puffs, and the smoke actually feels lighter, less harsh," Cummings tells WebMD. "The smoke cools in the vents, giving the illusion that it's less harsh, less dangerous. But it's not. They're getting the same amount of tar and nicotine, and they're probably less likely to quit smoking."

Don't they insert that info on the side of cigarette packs now? They do here. It's so funny, it's like they are telling on themselves.

Hey, me too. I always thought 2 lights equals one regular. Similar to the Diet Coke mentality
