Light, medium and heavy cigarettes - the truth.

[Admin]

kk, so no cigarettes are heavy, no arguments bout that, but which of theses are actually the more healthy?

kk, here's the answer:

SPOILER: Click to show

Heavy cigarettes are actually more healthy than the others! Here's why:
Nicotine is an addictive and does not really harm your body much, whereas the other poisons, such as benzene in the cigarettes are the killers. Now, a heavy cigarette has more nicotine in ratio to the other poisons.
Say Mr Soot needs 5 'blocks' of nicotine (a 'block' is just a simple variable measurement) to get his daily addictive over.
A heavy cigarette would have 3 blocks Nic, and say... 10 blocks poison (this is just an example, not the real ratio), whilsta Med would have 2 blocks Nic, 10 blocks poison and a Light would have 1 block Nic, 10 blocks poison.
So... In order to get his daily addicton of nicotine over, with Heavy cigarettes, he would get 5/3 Heavy cigarettes which would result in about 17 blocks poison.
Using Med Cigs, he would need 5/2 Med Cigs, resulting in 25 blocks poison.
And using Light cigs he would need 5 Light Cigs, resulting in 50 blocks poison.
And thus you see why Heavies and the healthiest, though still not healthy at all! <- REMEMBER THAT POISON IS NOT HEALTHY!
This fact is only true after you've establish your addiction level so, only for people who already smoke...yeah...

Just thought this was interesting ^_^

Note: In any case smoking is a hazard to your health and burnss your life away. Just imagine your cigarette and pretend that's part of your life. Everytime you light a cigarette (metaphor for smoking a cig), your life is burning away.

So keep away from t3h poisons and have a haaaaaaaaaaappy life! ^_^

Before reading that, I was thinking the exact opposite, with light being healthier...

Would you happen to know whether it is healthier to Passive Smoke (Second Hand Smoke) someone who is smoking heavy or light?

[Archer]

I don't know bout Passive Smoke from either one of them would be better than the other but this I know.People who literally Passive Smoke have a higher chance of getting lung cancer.

That's right, it's because cigarettes have a filter on them and passive smokers breath in the smoke without it passing through a filter first.

Thus meaning i've been a second hand smoker for 16 years.. my brother and father smoke... thats a bad this im guessing =/

[Admin]

Whoa! Then again I suppose once you start smoking you ain't gonna quit so there's little use persuading them not to... -_-"

Wear a surgeon mask around the house! That'll stop them smoking!
Dzee, they know smoking is bad for their health right, just that they won't quit?

[Archer]

It's hard to stop, FP.They get addicted cause of nicotine that's in every stick of cigarette.......once nicotine gets in your system, it's hard to get it out.....

my brother plans on stopping. my father has been smoking for 42yrs and every1 is telling him to quit and he did once for 11 months and then one day he just went and bought a pack =/

Anyone heard of those new electronic cigs? Its the is neat little thing that just lets you breathe in the nicotine, and the smoke is harmless to the air, supposedly, because its just water vapor.

my father tried those, worked for a couple of months but he didnt like it. The gum helped him for the 11 months he quit tho.

[ArkAngel]

Absolutely correct!!! The MORE nicotine in a cigarette, cigar, etc. the HEALTHIER it is. It is still not healthy so dont smoke.

[shadowgregarzx]

Few months ago, my school had this program...blah blah blah. They handed out cards for people who knew someone that had smoking problems. This "someone" of mine is smoker, but not much.

In the back it says if someone resists smoking a day, a free pizza and drink. A week...I forgot. A month, a camera. A year, a freaking TV.
Since I don't know smoking much, I'm gonna assume:
Nicotine is the addictive thing, andd the poisons are what effects you.

[Archer]

PD is right.Nicotine gets you hooked and tar and some carcinogenic substances are the poison.

[shadowgregarzx]

I will make another assumption:
Nicotine is safe? So if we put nicotine in broccoli, we'll eat it more?

[Archer]

Well, yeah but it can get you hooked to something.For instance, PD would eat more broccoli if there is nicotine in it but that's a really stupid thing to do. xD
