The Truth about Light Cigarettes - From a Smoker's Research

Hey viewer,

This slideshow is not meant to patronize and should not be taken as such. I am myself a smoker and I am not here to persuade you to quit. I have done extensive research on light cigarettes as part of my English class project. I have discovered that there have been researches proven to counter the notion that light cigarette is a safer alternative, contrary to what tobacco companies claim. My only objective is to share my research. All my sources are reliable. I hope you enjoy this slideshow and find it interesting.

Hmm well I've taken a look on a light pack of cigarettes (here in Holland) and it did show a lower Nicotin value on the package but a higher tar value.

wich would make me think, ya need to smoke more to satisfy your craving for nicotin while inhaling more tar... but maybe thats just here or something
