Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Cancer / January 2006Light cigarettes and health benefits
It seems that claims that light cigarettes have the benefit of being safer because of low tar and nicotine is not correct. A National Cancer Institute study indicates that in most cases light cigarette manufacturers are misleading comsumers. Apparently, the light cigarettes trick the smoking test machines into recording artificially low levels. If you go to https://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/case/light_cigarettes_misleading_safety_be nefits there is more information on this and what can be done about it. There is also a free case evaluation provided for those who might have been affected by this. I hope that this may be of some help. kr0 Someone's fishing for some potential lawsuits: Advertising and Marketing Services for Lawyers Online Legal Services Ltd. is a marketing firm that specializes in marketing for lawyers and law firms.

Smoking light cigarettes is like shooting yourself in the head with a "light" bullet. >>It seems that claims that light cigarettes have the benefit of being safer >>because of low tar and nicotine is not correct.

The lining of the lungs is on cell thick, these cells are called alveoli. Cigarette smoke contains particles that are less than 2.5 microns in diameter. These particles lodge in these cells and turn them to hardened tissue just like your outer skin. Also, diesel exhaust is composed of such sized particles. 93% of diesel exhaust is carcinogenic.
