Which is the Less Harmful Cigarette Brand ?

 

Tobacco distributors in Ontario found that twenty per cent of smokers falsely assume that lighter colors of cigarette packs like silver, gold or white are less dangerous than black or red brands.  A survey conducted on more than 8,000 smokers from the United States, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom discovered that American smokers were mostly likely to hold this myth. 

The researchers observed that the words ‘light’ and ‘mild’ are banned in cigarette marketing in more than 50 countries. Bong distributors in Ontario believe that all traditional brands of cigarettes present an equal level of threat to smokers, including ‘mild’ and ‘low-tar brands. The confusion can arise among smokers from brands that modified their ‘light’ cigarette brands to ‘silver’ and ‘gold’ brands; Marlboro Lights, for instance, became Marlboro Gold. 

The study also revealed that smokers often falsely believe that slim cigarettes are less harmful. Smoking accessories distributors in Ontario found that there is a notion that cigarettes with harsh tastes are more dangerous than those with smoother tastes and filters minimize risks from cigarettes. Also, nicotine is the root cause of most cancer from cigarettes. 

Accordingly, let us analyze the least harmful cigarettes along with their brands.
