Cigarettes that claim that they are all natural are safer...they are not

Don't be sucked in by the advertising.
Labels like "no additives," and "natural" are just another gimmick to sell cigarettes. These labels are misleading They imply that these cigarettes
must be safer. They are not.

Why "Naturals" are NOT so Natural:

  • Chemicals are sprayed on tobacco leaves to help kill bugs and fungus. These chemicals end up in the smoke.
  • Chemicals are added to paper to make the cigarette stay lit even
    when you are not puffing.
  • Filters are made out of the same material as camera film. The inside of the filter is painted white to appear clean.
  • Chemicals are also sprayed on the paper covering the filter tip so it does not fall apart in your mouth while you're smoking.=
  • Flavoring additives like menthol donít come from tobacco.
    Reprocessed tobacco is sometimes used.
  • Made from ground up tobacco leaves, stems and stalks, reprocessed
    tobacco helps control the nicotine the smoker gets in each cigarette.
