Cuz there’s less tabacco which makes it ‘easier to quit.’ (Though as long as you get any sort of nicotine in your system, you’re never going to quit.)
I guess, as it is light, we take it again n again..thats why its dangerous.
You of all pplz should know,
It IS a bit of a misnomer, but I think they are called light due to the fact that they have a lighter taste…as in the smoke doesn’t taste as harsh.
I think descriptors like “full, medium, mellow” would be better than “regular, light, ultra-light.”
i think they call them light because there is less tobacco and the smoke isn’t as harsh but that is just what i have heard
its not lighter bc there is less tobacco but that it has a different filter. in “light” cigarettes there are miniscule holes that bring in air when sucked on to dilute the smoke. Most smokers cover these holes with their fingers or their lips and they might as well be smoking a regular cigarette. It’s just another way to get people to think its “healthier”. a healthier cigarette. wow. what an oxymoron. :0
Light cigarettes have perforated holes near the filter to let more air in, this mixes a greater amount of air in with the smoke. However, these holes are naturally concealed by the smoker’s fingers, so it really is a moot point. The “light” sensation is simply less ingested smoke, but might involve compensation smoking. For example, extended inhalation or chain-smoking.
“Tar” ratings are the major component of related diseases, primarily because of cellular mutation as a result of “tar” exposure. Said tar is not the same as the type used to pave roads and seal roofing materials. It is a resinous by-product of smoking carcinogenic materials.
Let’s be honest, if something is bad for you then a population will contain individuals wishing to do such “bad” things. The psychological influence of smoking goes beyond health and bearing a off-putting scent. The coping process stems from being unable to live up to the assumed status-quo, some require a concentrated dose, other desire a “lighter” release. Nicotine is addictive, but so is the assumption of being able to deal.
light olive oil has just as many calories and fat as extra virgin.
Its all about the flavor and pressing.
So, while the cig might be called light, it by no means makes it healthier.
But when I quit, I went light, to ultra light, and then cold turkey.
I always knew a cigarette, is a cigarette, is a cigarette.
I always knew they were nasty things, and I got them out of my life!
it IS light. doesn’t mean it ain’t dangerous.
when in regular cigs are like 10 miligrams or 0,10 miligrams of monoxide and all that, there can be 8/0,8 7/0,7 6/0,6 5/0,5 in light cigarettes. you even have light-light, which has 3/0,3 miligrams, and in some countries like greece you have cigs dat contain only 1 or 0,1 miligrams of the dangerous substances. so light definately means light, cause there’s less stuff in it.
How much do Crispin Porter & Bogusky, lover of all things that cause obesity (Burger King) pay to have your brand of banal rhetoric Featured ? No seriously, I want to know so that I can have mine up.
I hate truth. You are annoying and should go away please. and thank you
It’s the same with coke
cola light is just as unhealthy than the usual kind, less sugar is the reason why they call it “light”
if you smoke “light” cigarettes you’ll inhale less nicotine and less tar, but it’s still unhealthy
whenever you’ve been out, drinking and smoking too much your lungs will feel bad for a couple of hours the next day so if you still want to smoke a couple of cigarettes after breakfest you better choose a “light” version, because it’ll still go down smooth :]
Because it has less calories and carbohydrates. Everyone knows that.
Because they’re tinier? You can fit more cancer sticks into your purse?
’cause they weigh less, foo!
because they taste so light, sweet, and nummy. mmmmmmmmmmm. i miss smoking so much sometimes.
GO AWAY – YOU GUYS ARE SUCH JERKS SERIOUSLY. HAVE YOU LOST ANY WAY TO GET US TO STOP SMOKING THAT YOU START MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE AND BEING AN ASSHOLE? I DON’T SMOKE AND I DON’T PLAN TO, BUT HEY YOU’RE THAT ANNOYING – I MIGHT START JUST TO PISS YOU OFF
I know some people want you to die a horrible and slow death–but I think they’re wrong.
You’ve already been around long enough–die quickly please.
You’re annoying and bothersome. Please go away.
What is this, a fucking trivia question? You people already know the answers to this. Now I’m convinced that you’re just a bunch of dipshit lawyers.
They call them lights for two reasons:
1. The holes that are perforated in lights and ultra-lights that supposedly dilute the smoke.
2. The amount of additives, like nicotine, that are in a single cigarette when you inhale it.
So what if lights are equally dangerous? Funny thing is, I’ve worked in retail at a drugstore where a good 50 percent of the purchases involve at least one pack of cigarettes. Women generally go for 100s or (in the case of certain brands) 120s. Men like the regulars. Old people go for Pall Malls or Basics because they’re cheap. People who are my age like Marlboros and Parliaments. The truly daring and indifferent get stuff with Menthol.
I like smokers. They save nature time when filtering out the fittest of the human race. You people shouldn’t stop that from happening.
with all due to respect, you guys are asking the wrong questions the wrong way.
Aren’t they called light because they have fewer calories? Obesity sure is a big problem, I think it’s great these Big T companies are looking out for our health!
tbh i think the most annoying thing about truth is their stupid little cartoons.
so annoying..
It could just be a marketing strategy to make people feel better about having a smoke from a “light pack”. Just like how you’d feel better drinking diet coke as compared to regular coke.
“light” cigarettes just let in more air. also just more stupid if your trying to quit by switching to those instead of “full flavor” or what not. you’ll just smoke more and more of the lights to satisfy the urge. i for one am trying to quit smoking and the only way to really quit is cold turkey. slowing down or cutting back does nothing, because your still feeding the addiction.
@Martmallow - honestly, you must be retarded if you actually think that.
And truth, shut up, people who smoke know the risks, they do anyways because they want to, maybe you just are jealous about how much fun were having, sure we may die at sixty of cancer, but who wants to live to be eighty and enjoy all those years in a retirement home, hooked up to dialysis. F**K OFF! This is my life
@lightningstrik3s - You do realize that comment are above the username. My comment was pro-smoking and not the one about calories.
@Martmallow - whoops, my b, i actually liked your comment the most, ok well the person below you is an idiot
