As it is now past October 1, 2007, I think we need to change the "will be"s to "has been"s. Also, I have heard from people in England stating that this is quite well know now, so it seems just silly to leave it in its current form. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.143.115.66 (talk) 20:46, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
One thing conspicuously omitted from this article is much of a history of the cigarette, how and when it was invented, who invented it, and where it first became popular, and how. That is what I mainly came to this article to find out. Instead, it turns out to be another antismoking sounding board. There seems to be a school of thought that cigarettes cannot be even talked about without a health disclaimer, which is odd because I cannot think of anything else whose unhealthfulness is better known and more synonymous with it. Mal7798 23:00, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
The only information on this page about nicotine is in the "links" and "references" section. isn't nicotine one of the key products in a cigarette? doesn't this mean it should be mentioned and described more?
I understand the rationale for merging the previous health sections into the larger Health effects of tobacco smoking article. However, smoking-induced lung cancers are an extremely important issue surrounding cigarettes. Shouldn't there be a section addressing this topic? Tarcieri 02:34, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Agreed - there should be a section on cigarettes and health added here.
I noticed that the maximum dimensions of a typical cigarette are mentioned, but nowhere (that I could find, anyway, I'm not infallible :) ) does the article give the average amount of tobacco in a cigarette. I shall now try to find this information (I don't think it'll be too hard, but in case someone just sees this and KNOWS...) AnarchyElmo 02:43, 11 February 2007 (UTC) Apparently the average (tobacco) cigarette contains about 1 gram of tobacco, can anyone sanity check me with their own search? AnarchyElmo 03:16, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I weighed a regular Winston and found that the net weight of the tobacco was 700 mg. That means two packs add up to about an ounce. If you buy cigarets in Chicago this year you are spending $14/ounce.
Did you notice that the number of milligrams is not currently printed either on the cigaret nor on the packaging anywhere, why is there no law requiring it be listed?
(As for listing the ingredients, there's not enough room on the cover.)
I think an article about cigarettes, the greatest genocide weapon in the history of the planet, should inform readers not only that the cigarette burns at 1500 degrees F in the tip and is the most harmful of all smoking methods, but that an alternative exists-- a quarter-inch-inner-diameter screened-crater anti-overdose utensil, for 25-mg. servings, with LSMFT (Life-Saving Minimum Firing Temperature) which you can make out of a socket wrench, a hose nipple, and many other materials-- preferably with a long draw tube giving the smoke more time to cool before it hits your trachea.64.107.3.112 00:16, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
Uruguay is the first and only country in the world that recently made illegal to smoke in ANY closed space such as bars, offices, restaurants... (anything except in your own house, lol), is that worth mentioning on the article? Wesborland 01:08, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Sounds like a good thing to put down.Sjschen 14:12, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Ummmmm, that thing about Uruguay, is happening here, in Argentina. It became illegal to smoke in public places. Someone might want to add that in?
Can this statistic under "consumption" be right: "Approximately 5.5 trillion cigarettes are produced globally each year by the tobacco industry, smoked by over 1.1 billion people, which is more than 1/6 of the world's total population." That comes out to 5000 cigarettes a smoker per year, or 13 a day per smoker. Just seems high and there's not citation. Someone want to check that? Ultramontane 16:41, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Just as a side note for those that want to be accurate; bars, restaurants, casinos, movie theaters, malls, etc., are not "public places." They are owned by private interests, not the government, so they are "private" by definition. Just because a business encourages customers to enter their establishment, that does not make that business "public." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.58.233.66 (talk) 19:01, 10 December 2006 (UTC).
The U.S. Supreme court in Lloyd Corp v. Tanner decided that a place of business does not become public property because the public is invited in. The anti-discrimination laws refer to specific groups. Even they are fair game for exclusion if excluded for reasons other than those outlined by the statute.
I've added the British Colloquialism "fag" to the heading paragraph a couple of times. When I've come back, it's been completely removed both times. Being moved from the first paragraph isn't that big a deal, even though I think it should go there. I at least expected it to remain somewhere within the article though. It's an important fact that many British people call a cigarrette a fag. I don't want to add it again since that would be the third time, and seem like I'm trying to start an edit war. So I'm asking for some editor consensus. If you think it should be added, please say so. If it seems that alot of people agree, please add the reference appropriately to the article. If you don't agree, please leave your reason why here as well. Thanks. --Davidkazuhiro 12:34, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm not disagreeing that it's a common slang term, but the way it's portrayed in the first sentence seems to imply that the two terms are used interchangeably, at the exception of all other slang terms for a cigarette. You're listing one slang term out of very many, and the term fag really isn't ubiquitous enough that it needs to be featured so prominently in the article. Let's use the common standard term first, and then address slang terms later on in the article.
"Facial tissue is often referred to as a "tissue" or by the genericized trademark "Kleenex" which popularized the invention and its use. The term "paper handkerchief" is also used."
I will remove the reference from the introductory sentence and place it towards the bottom of the article, due to the many editors who are concerned with its location. We'll see this alternative presentation turns out. By the way 82.40.177.159, I like big words too but it seems you have misconstrued the meaning of the word misconstrue (just slightly). The verb more accurately describes a misunderstanding of meaning and definition than a misguided belief in term usage trends. Thank you all for your input and patience. You're a good lot of editors Wikipedia should have more of. --Davidkazuhiro 08:12, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
I find it silly that all you people are arguing over the word "fag" -- by trying to make the word seem subtle, you're blowing it out of proportion. It's known as what it's known in different areas of the world. If you're homosexual, be happy that the difference was noticed -- it is not as though the article went "Cigarettes, also know as Fags (definitely not those silly american ones!!!! hhahaha!!) -- I mean come on. If you're not homosexual-- then quit complaining. I say this coming from a bisexual view, and besides, it's not as though Wikipedia is very "Encyclopedia-like" anyway. It's not very PC at all. It's just become another website to argue on and trash other people's ideas/views.

I am not really sure if this is right right "Egypt it is legal to use and purchase tobacco products regardless of age" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.107.25.187 (talk) 00:51, 20 January 2007 (UTC).
I added the "off-topic" tag. Wikipedia already has an article about smoking bans and I think it is not necessary to have a section about smoking bans in the Cigarette article. A link saying "Main article: Smoking ban" would be more appropriate. Smoking bans are also off-topic in the Cigarette article because they don't apply only to cigarettes, but to all tobacco smoking. So let's see some opinions before emptying the section about smoking bans and replacing it with a single link to the Smoking ban article. Canjth 01:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

According to my local liquor store owner, as of January 1 all cigarettes must come with flame-retardant paper as of 1/1/07. This, if true (and I believe these guys) would be an important addition to this article. I have had no luck trying to find this at Google.

In section 4.1 of the article (Contents and health effects: Carcinogens), there is a bullet point which goes like this:
- Benzopyrene is a highly carcinogenic and mutagenic compound which is formed during the incomplete combustion of organic matter. Tobacco manufacturers have experimented with combustion less vaporizer technology to allow cigarettes to be consumed without the formation of carcinogenic benzopyrenes.[1]
I have two problems with this:
I'm not an expert so I could only make simple observations like these. My humble guess is either the author of this passage is referring to something else such as nitrosamines (which is referred to in the cited article), or has incorrectly cited this passage. I need someone with a bit more experience to make the appropriate edit or explanation here. --Davidkazuhiro 08:11, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Cancer Trends During the 20th Century from the Journal of the Australasian College of Nutritional & Environmental Medicine. Örjan Hallberg,a M.Sc.e.e., consultant and Olle Johansson,a Assoc. Professor
http://www.acnem.org/journal/21-1_april_2002/cancer_trends.htm
As you'll see from the charts, cancers rates increased dramatically after the 40's.
Why is this. Is it from smoking or something else. Well as we know in 1942 the first atomic tests where conducted and thereafter hundreds more.
Before being banned by Russia, Britain and America, a total of 711 atmospheric nuclear tests were conducted, thereby creating 711,000 kilograms of deadly microscopic radioactive particles, to which must be added the original 4,200 kilograms from the weapons themselves, for a gross though very conservative total of 715,200 kilograms. There are more than a million lethal doses per kilogram, meaning that your governments have contaminated your atmosphere with more than 715,000,000,000 [715 Billion] such doses, enough to cause lung or skin cancer 117 times in every man, woman and child on earth.
The half-life of radioactive material is 50,000 years. These particles do not go anywhere. This is the real reason for the cancer epidemic, (plus the toxicity of the environment through the use of chemicals and other toxic substances) not cigarettes.
Natural Tobacco and cannabis (not the commercial cigarettes of today) are organic substances that have been used medicinally for thousands of years.70.137.147.51 23:41, 21 February 2007 (UTC)MMH.
The above comments have no bearing on the editing of the article. They are also patently ridiculous in the face of rigorous scientific evidence linking cigarette smoking with bronchogenic carcinoma. All the nuclear testing in the world could not be responsible for the statistical over-representation of smokers amongst people with bronchogenic carcinoma (for example at least 95% of small cell carcinomas occur in smokers). To suggest that cigarette smoking is not linked to lung cancer is misinformed and goes against masses of rigorous and scientifically reproduced evidence.
This is a common misconception that "cancer" is one disease. It is closer to the truth to look at 'cancer' as being more like a pathological description, like 'inflammation'. When diseases are referred to as 'cancer', all we are saying is that the disease causes a specific group of cells to behave in a particular 'abnormal' pattern, or to display neoplastic changes. This does NOT in any way mean that all cancers are related or of common origin, any more than all 'inflammatory' diseases are, or all 'anaemias' are. The term cancer does describe a variety of illnesses with grouped cellular changes, but it is NOT the case that all cancers are variations of the same disease, or have one unifying cause.
Additionally, you can nominate all the environmental causes you like to underpin the rise in 'cancer' rates, in many cases environmental factors are indeed known to alter rates of specific illnesses (eg radiation and some hematological malignancies), but if you are stating that there is no connection between smoking and bronchogenic carcinoma then the data should NOT show disproportionate representation of smokers amongst this particular subset of 'cancers'. If one global underlying cause were responsible then smokers and non-smokers should be represented *equally* in the data. As I stated above this is clearly not the case. There is a clear and demonstrable link between smoking and bronchogenic carcinoma (as distinct from the inaccurate catch-all phrase 'cancer') which is rigorously supported by scientific evidence.

Whether or not there are 'environmental factors', objectively reproducible statistics show a scientifically indisputable link between cigarettes and lung cancer. To say otherwise requires you to supply a different reason why lung cancer rates (as distinct from a grouping of ALL cancers) are so weighted towards smokers.

I find it interesting that the poster was referring to radiation fallout from testing since the 1940's. Smoking tobacco in combination with this environmental pollution may increase the cancer risks (more so than historically) and I also find it interesting that your arguments citing causation (possibly just correlation? I don't care) were done post-1940's. That makes it difficult to assume directly that ONLY the tobacco (natural and chemically altered) causes the cancer. I provide such an example "since earliest man has evolved, we have been working under the sun without suntan lotion, billions of humans have lived as such, yet even to modern times, skin cancer is extremely low" Unfounded fears? But don't get me wrong, inhaling smoke is bad, but with these same statistics one would cite that secondhand-smoke causes HIGHER rates of cancer than active smoking, I tend to become skeptical of any medical research, pro or con. -DubMan —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.253.165.30 (talk) 23:26, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

There are no, or little details on the history of Cigarette's, to me this seems like a rather big aspect of this topic that has clearly been overlooked. This is a separate issue to the history of tobacco, as such the design of a Cigarette, including the paper used, the filter, with the brown/orange and yellow spots. Why and where does this come from?

I was thinking the exact same thing. Either we merge the page Health_effects_of_tobacco_smoking into the cigarette page and then create pages for cigarettes_in_culture and another for history_of_cigarettes, or we should cut out a lot of the Health_effects_of_tobacco_smoking material in the main cigarette page.

I have just found out an important fact. It appears that, unlike popular belief, cigarettes don't have the after effect that causes you to relax. They Do the exact opposite, When you are "addicted" what is really happening is the nicotine and other additives are mentally and physically aggravating and stressing you when your not smoking. This causes the feeling of stress and the only way to relieve this "stress" is to give yourself more nicotine AKA smoking. I think someone should add this to the health problem section, under addictiveness. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.207.79.208 (talk) 02:48, 22 April 2007 (UTC).

Actually I think that the line about health dangers that exists on the article right now now should be removed.
One single sentence would do: "For the possible health effects of smoking cigarettes see: "Health effects of tobacco smoking"(Link)
I love Wikipedia for its neutrality, this is a page about Cigarettes, not another place to put health dangers to pound into your head. Or to promote an opinion such a.s dangers of secondhand smoke.
In the second paragraph, the article says that a cigarette smoked, on average, reduces 11 minutes off of a person's life. The cited material is a pamphlet on quitting smoking. That kind of information is, aside from being completely in-empirical, reflective of a clear bias of the author: He or she feels that the reader should not smoke cigarettes (And as a non-smoker, I totally agree).
Cigarettes are unhealthy, yes; This is a well-known and well-documented fact. However, to make a claim such as "Smoking one cigarette will take 11 minutes off your life" is a fact loaded with terminology to steer the reader into not smoking.
I would expect better quality information on an article as touchy as cigarettes. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact me.

Ehhh... That really ISN'T true. It's a misleading speculation at best, from anecdotal "evidence". In a scientific study of any importance (other than ideological), that information would not be used and discarded if presented. As I see more things like this, I understand why our university banned Wikipedia as a potential source for research. Not because Wikipedia is "bad", but because certain people and groups dominate articles and toss in bad information to advance their opinions.
How is this verifiable? How are you going to apply the scientific method to this, experiment, create the theory and submit it for peer review? Did they take some people and observe them smoking in a lab for 50 years until they died, and then decided they died (Delta * X) faster than the "control"? No, and I will have the laugh if anyone claims that. Basing it off of a survey pattern and individual research is inevitably doomed to failure. You can choose which "cases" go into the statistics and advance your ideology and opinions. That's exactly what has been done by the anti-smoking camp and lobbyists. You get the same results with anything controversial. Yes, smoking is unhealthy and can cause a whole myriad of health problems and, of course, death. But there's no benefit to adding such anecdotal snippets of pseudo-science.
I also agree with the idea that being bombarded with the health detriments of smoking as soon as you start reading is silly. Very good analogy too, KenFehling. We may as well toss in some attacks against the bourgeoisie Tobacco company CEOs and tell everyone about their Capitalist conspiracy too, no? A bit of dry humor, but I hope you get my point. At least create a dedicated section about the risks to health, and keep all of it there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.163.32 (talk) 20:20, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
The statement, as is, presupposes that there is a predetermined lifespan for each person. As is, it implies that anyone who dies would have died instantly had they smoked a cigarrette 11 minutes before they actually died. It should say "life expectancy", both in the source and in the article. Actually, the sentence should be removed from the article because it's clearly misleading. It's not an opinion, but an inaccurate way to represent a conclusion about life expectancy, which is not the same as life span, or "life", as the source says. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.249.49 (talk) 03:28, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Tar, Nicotine and Carbon monoxide content are displayed on the side of cigarette packets (at least they are here in The Netherlands...).
It would be nice to put a link on this page that brings you to a table where these values are compared by brand.
I've been searching on the net for a list comparing these values between brands of cigarette and been able find only one dating back to 1994. Since 2004 limits have been set for the maximum allowed content of tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide so we are really missing this information.
Example:
Brand | Tar (mg) | Nicotine (mg) | Carbon Monoxide (mg) |
---|---|---|---|
Marlboro Gold (EU), Marlboro Lights | 8 | 0,6 | 9 |
Lucky Strike Madura Silver | 7 | 0,6 | 8 |

In the table of smoking rates by country, for the United States it shows 35% of men smoke, and 22 percent of women smoke. However, this doesn't seem to match the table of smoking rates for each US state. Assuming there are roughly as many men as women in the US, we can estimate the smoking rate at 28%, however, only 1 state (Kentucky) has a smoking rate that high. Perhaps one table is looking at whole populations, and the other is only looking at adults?--RLent (talk) 18:32, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
A list of known ingredients and byproducts besides filter, paper, tobacco, and flavoring might be good, as well as what purpose they serve. For example, why do cigarettes allegedly contain formaldehyde? Wycked (talk) 00:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
The first footnote directs to a PDF from the WHO with clear explanations as well as most kinds of known ingredients. Several tobacco manufacturers have ingredient lists on their website (but never complete as explained in the WHO document). Formaldehyde might possibly be used to prevent mold in stored tobacco. If so than most of it will be evaporated during the manufacturing process, it has a boiling point of 19.3 °C. It is highly flammable so even if there would be any residue it would burn up before entering the smokers body. On the other hand it is an intermediate of burning organic matter as well as a by-product of your own metabolic system. Is it important? We all know that cigarette smoke is very harmful. The tobacco industry is of course responsible for taking on average several years off a smokers life expectancy. But it would be an extremely strange marketing strategy to deliberately add toxic components that would shorten their customers lives.Maggy Rond (talk) 10:07, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

"Approximately 5.5 trillion cigarettes are produced globally each year and are smoked by over 1.1 billion people or greater then one-sixth of the world population. "
Where's the source for this? My dad did some analysis for British American Tobacco, during his employment there, and I think the real figure could be quite far off from this.
Also, is there a reliable source of governement stats on nicotine ratings for the different UK brands? ( I mean 'relible' :)Moneyprobs (talk) 09:52, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
The regular length of a King size cigarette is 84mm Example, regular Benson&Hedges, Marlboro, Indian Gold Flake King size etc.
In India there is another mid sized cigarette of ITC brand by the name Wills navy cut which is only 74mm.
The famous Indian BIDI measure around 60mm. There are some cigarette known as just filter cigarettes whose length is 69mm.
A cigarette without a filter (mostly sold in India) also measure 69mm
Other cigarettes that are longer than the normal ones measure about 122-124mm.
Those lengths WERE correct before, however now in Canada the TC's are decreasing the length of the cigarette (seen by me with "Number 7's")with a smaller package and increasing the filter length using the same size package (seen by me with "Dunhill"). Some brands of cigarettes also appear to me to be thinner in diameter than before - perhaps someone can conduct some experiments in this area? All of the above results in even less tobacco for the same or increasing prices, and very angry consumers who feel they are being ripped off (Myself included). I have spoken with pissed off other people who say their brands are undergoing the same rip off process, however I haven't smoked them personally, so.... If anyone would like to address this issue in the main article, that would be great. Thanks! :) 154.5.109.167 (talk) 18:36, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
I think that the word "finely" in the opening puts cigarettes into too much of a positive light, we should change it to "shredded" or "processed by machinery" or something. Also "manufactured" could be changed to "mass produced" as mass production has more of a negative connotation to it and "tobacco leaves" should definitely be changed to just "tobacco" as "leaves" suggests that it is a natural product from the earth.

"Finely" in this case is referring to the texture and width of cut for the tobacco used. As for trying to shift the wording just for the sake of making it sound negative, that's just silly. Just because one is not putting tobacco in a "bad" light does not mean that they are trying to glamorize it. Sjschen (talk) 22:15, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

The "Every 10 percent increase in the price of cigarettes reduced youth smoking by about seven percent and overall cigarette consumption by about four percent" citation from anti-smoking website is unrealable and too biased of a view.
Deleted the passage below; while the impulse to provide anti-smoking info is admirable, the health effects belong more properly in tobacco or tobacco smoking and the NY gov flyer is not WP:RS -- it doesn't contain scholarly citations to anchor what are really slash-&-burn statistics.

Nicotine, the primary psychoactive chemical in tobacco, is addictive.[3] Cigarette use by pregnant women has also been shown to cause birth defects (which include mental and physical disability).[4] On average, each cigarette smoked shortens lifespan by 11 minutes and smokers who die of tobacco-related disease lose, on average, 14 years of life.[5]
How can this article not contain any mention of the history of adding ammonium compounds to cigarettes to increase nicotine availability? The fact of this is well-established by the internal tobacco company documents that were released during the discovery process in the American law-suits against these companies. Here is a resource that I would recommend using in an addition to the section that discusses "Tobacco Blend". http://old.ash.org.uk/html/regulation/html/additives.html C4VC3 (talk) 21:57, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

In the article here, it is noted that cigarette butts are biodegradable. According to an article in EOS-magazine, May 2010, this is definitly not the case, it only was the case when made from cotton or viscose or paper (ie brands: Gauloise, Gitane). According to Charles Moore, several environmental organisations, and professor Tom Novotny. In addition, since there have been several projects from cigarette manufacturers to produce biodegradable cigarette butts, we can be quite sure that they are indeed non-biodegradable. For example, Philip Morris researched biodegradable cigarette butts (in 1972) and a possible winner was prototype A35. In 1990, another research was done, and a report was made on the issue. In 1994, R.J Reynolds also had 5 prototype butts; in the same year Coresta set up the Cigarette Butt Degradability Task Force, which was finally disbanded in 2000. Finally, in 2003, Robert Walker made another biodegradable filter, and in 2005, Biotec also made a biodegradable filter.

In the standfirst, it says "Cigarettes are the most frequent source of fires in private homes". This is not true. UK 2007 statistics show the three commonest ignition sources to include: smoking materials as the cause of 3,076 fires, cooking appliances as the source of 23,805 fires, other (than electrical distribution) electrical appliances as the source of 5,389 fires, all out of a total of 43,351 fires - all figures are for dwellings. Assuming UK figures are typical, that makes the statement not merely untrue but suspiciously biased.
To recap, UK 2007 statistics say: cooking appliances 54.9%, other electrical appliances 12.4%, smoking materials 7.1%.
I would suggest, and recommend, a change in wording to "Cigarettes are a frequent source of fires in private homes". 90.155.70.34 (talk) 13:53, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
What is reconstituted tobacco? The word suggests it has somehow been recycled, but one would think that would be pretty much impossible after smoking it as it is incinerated in the process. Or if this was about the unburnt rest in the stump, considering that all the smoke and condensate of the incinerated part of the cigarette have passed through it and turned it into a disgusting, stinking, sludgy mess, and there are not really any great recycling operations in place for cigarette stumps, that also seems not to be it.--Cancun771 (talk) 15:05, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Most of the information in the third paragraph of the article seems like it should be moved to subsequent sections. The rates of smoking should probably be restricted to the "consumption" section, and the information on health effects should be moved to the "health issues" section. It just seems like the article is stating the detrimental and negative aspects of cigarettes immediately. I know it's not controversial at all in this point in time that cigarettes are, for the most part, considered detrimental to health (disregarding the smoker's paradox), but I still don't see why the third paragraph needs to come off as a "Truth" add.

In paragraph 3 of the article there is the statement "New research has shown that thirdhand smoke, which are caused (sic) when tobacco traces are transmitted through a secondhand smoker to a third person, increases the probability of lung-related diseases."
This statement does not have any source attributed and I would suggest it should be removed if it cannot be proven. The only evidence that I can find of reference to studies relating to third hand smoke comes from a study in the Journal of Paediatrics - http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/123/1/e74.full entitled "Beliefs About the Health Effects of “Thirdhand” Smoke and Home Smoking Bans".
This was in no way a study of the effects of third hand smoke. It was a series of telephone interviews to find out what random members of the public "believed" about third hand smoke. In the pre-amble that its objective states that "Thirdhand smoke is residual tobacco smoke contamination that remains after the cigarette is extinguished. Children are uniquely susceptible to thirdhand smoke exposure." Where is the evidence of this? The study itself seems highly biased and based on an assumption about the harmfulness of third hand smoke without any substantive research to back it up.

According to a decision on a lawsuit brought by the USA against Philip Morris, and Philip Morris own documents, the only difference between regular cigarettes and a "light" cigarette is tiny holes placed on the paper that increase the air flow. This increase in air flow increases the mutability of the smoke, i.e. making so-called "light" cigarettes even more likely to cause cancer and tumors than regular cigarettes. Philip Morris has been banned from using the term "light" in the USA.
This is not true. Most light cigarettes are now made by expanding the tobacco, thereby having the same amount of tobacco have more volume, therefore, each cigarette has less tobacco, making them lighter. Not necessarily healthier, but most certainly lighter. But the thing about the paper being the only difference is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. The filter is more dense for starters.

Due to a lack of information about cigarette advertising in the United States as well as the ways the government restricted advertising in the 20th century I added these three paragraphs covering those issues.
Tobacco advertising can be seen in the United States as early as the year the Constitution was ratified, as local tobacco companies placed advertisiements in local newspapers. However, these advertisements were primarily for tobacco and snuff, with cigarette advertising not becoming prominent until the late 1800s upon the invention of two important technologies. First, color lithography was invented in the late 1870s which revolutionized advertising for cigarette companies who could now strengthen and promote their identities to consumers. Now companies could make collectible cigarette cards with every cigarette pack and these cards became very popular. They often pictured people such as movie stars, athletes, and even Native American chiefs. However, these collectible cards were eventually discontinued to save paper during World War II. The second invention was a cigarette-making machine developed in the 1880s that vastly increased the productivity of cigarette companies, who went from making approximately 40,000 hand-rolled cigarettes daily to around 4 million. [6]
The decades in the 20th century prior to World War II consisted primarily of full page, color magazine and newspaper advertisements. Many companies created slogans for their specific cigarettes and also gained endorsements from famous men and women. Some advertisements even contained children or doctors in their efforts to sway new customers to their specific brand. Much of these advertisements sought to make smoking appear fashionable and modern to men and women. Also, since the health effects of smoking weren't entirely proven at this time, the only real opposing argument to smoking was made on moral grounds. However, there were still a substantial amount of doctors and scientists who believed there was a health risk associated with smoking cigarettes. [7] During World War II, cigarettes were included in American soldier's C-rations since many tobacco companies sent the soldiers cigarettes for free. Cigarette sales reached an all time high at this point, as cigarette companies were not only able to get soldiers addicted to nicotine, but specific brands also found a new loyal group of customers as soldiers who smoked their cigarettes returned from the war. [8]
After World War II, cigarette companies advertised frequently on television programs. To combat this move by the cigarette companies, the Federal Communications Commission required television stations to air anti-smoking advertisements at no cost to the organizations providing such advertisements.In 1970, Congress took their anti-smoking initiative one step further and passed the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act, banning the advertising of cigarettes on television and radio starting on January 2, 1971.After the television ban, most cigarette advertising took place in magazines, newspapers, and on billboards. However, in 1999 all cigarette billboard advertisements were replaced with anti-smoking messages, with some of these anti-smoking messages playing parodies of cigarette companies advertising figures and slogans. Since 1984, cigarette companies have also been forced to place Surgeon's General warnings on all cigarette packs and advertisements because of the passing of the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act.[9] Restrictions on cigarette companies became even tighter in 2010 with the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. The act prohibits tobacco companies from sponsoring sports, music, and other cultural events and also prevents the display of their logos or products on T-shirts, hats, or other apparel.[10] The constitutionality of both this act and the Food and Drug Administration's new graphic cigarette warning labels are being questioned under cigarette companies' first amendment rights.[11] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zmmoreno (talk • contribs) 19:05, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Nicotine, the primary psychoactive chemical in tobacco and therefore cigarettes, is psychologically addictive, although it does not engender a physiological dependency (e.g. discontinuation does not evoke somatic withdrawal syndromes as do drugs such as alcohol or opioids).
Utter bullshit top to bottom and unsourced. Does not engender a physiological dependency? Please. How did this shit get into the lead? --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 13:32, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
The first citation is rubbish. I read the first page and it is clear it is not a reliable source, nor is it anywhere remotely close to the quality of a peer reviewed paper. Someone get rid of it. I came to this page to find information on cigarettes. I got blasted in every section on the evils of smoking. Can I make a suggestion that this page be more neutral in tone? Yes, we all know that cigarettes are bad, but you don't see people talking about gun murders in every section on a wiki page on guns do you? 70.79.187.234 (talk) 05:02, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
There are no benefits to smoking cigarettes and so it does come across more differently than an article about guns which have many positive uses. Owning and using guns for a prolonged period won't kill you. 70.225.161.202 (talk) lancea longini —Preceding undated comment added 01:44, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
There is no evidence whatsoever to support the ludicrous claim that cigarettes take each cigarette takes 11 minutes off of your life. Though it is true beyond a doubt that smoking can lower life expectancy across the board, IF all other things are equal, it is literally impossible to claim each one took 11 minutes off of life. IDK about you, but every smoker I know varies; one day they smoke 10 cigs, another 30. To continue to support this 11 minute claim is a sad example of people's views getting in the way of they're common sense. I checked the "reference", it was not a study or anything that substantiated the 11 minute claim. No, all the link is, is a pamphlet style page for health care provisional, telling them how to counsel smokers to quit. The 11 minute claim is only listed under the "loss of life" section, and, not to mention the page was made by the NYC government. And as we all know, the government does not have a good track record with facts.
So let's review kids: 1. No one could ever possibly know how many cigarettes someone has smoked, making even a single claim of how much life each one took off impossible to determine, and trying to make an average of a population is laughable and 2. The "source" cites no study, is "anti-smoking" and written for the purpose of encouraging patients to quit, and it is a goverment document. That is as POV as it gets.
You can't find a study concluding an individual cigarette takes any amount of life, because one doesn't exist, and will never exist, because it is impossible. ON the other hand, saying that a lifetime of smoking takes a certain amount of years off, I can accept. Granted, it is still technically impossible to estimate, since you never know how long or how much people smoked, the kind of cigarettes( carlton's vs Camel classic non-filters vs. Natural American Spirit Organic) but at leats it serves a purpose to guess, on average, the number of years a smoker can lose, than to make up a fictional number that was pulled out of someone's ass.
Please, please quit pushing this joke, and keep to posting things that can be proven, and that serve a purpose, because otherwise I am going to post how many minutes taking a shot of whiskey knocks off your life, or better yet, how many minutes each mile you drive on the highway... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.98.250.155 (talk) 03:05, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

I agree, the placement of this statement really shows that wikipedia is also a site for presenting propaganda. 64.121.172.111 (talk) 00:13, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
Whilst cigarettes where smoked before World War II the big rise in lung cancer comes post WWII. This is at the same time the agrichemical industry became dominant in the culture of tobacco and politically. The rise in lung cancer correlates with the rise in agrichemical use on tobacco yet I have not seen any research comparing natural versus agrichemical produced tobacco in regards to lung cancer. It is virtually not ever mentioned the effect these pesticide residues and inerts, often volatile organic solvents, have in lung cancer development from cigarettes. This is still poorly researched regarding health and certainly in regards to inhalation. Rats, differ markedly to humans in regards to some of these chemical effects eg cholinesterase. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.124.103.70 (talk) 21:15, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
The lifespan increased after WW2 also. People were living longer except for the smokers. Earlier in the century, people would die of some reason before the smoking caught up and killed them. 70.225.161.202 (talk)lancea longini —Preceding undated comment added 02:04, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

The sources listed for the 2nd Hand Smoke section seem to be largely propaganda pieces from the Tobacco Control Industry not serious science nor do they cite any such. Perhaps someone could take the time to rewrite and link to some real evidence for the claims that SHS 'causes...lung cancer' etc. Even the so called sources cited actually admit that SHS has only been linked to lung cancer (I can 'link' the moon with cheese)109.153.178.145 (talk) 13:52, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

I have removed the claim that the health effects of e-cigarettes are being 'heavily studied', as all the links presented as sources for this claim are dead, and the only evidence I could find suggested a widespread view that such health effects should be studied carefully - but presented no clear results to demonstrate such research or its outcomes yet.

Hello, For a My college Environmental Chemistry class we have to add Environmental information to a Wikipedia page. For my project i choice to add information on Cigarette filters degradation. We have to "go live" with our additions and then we will be graded on the page and our interaction with people on wikipedia and how our addition grows over time. Thus if you have a problem with my information please edit or talk to me about it, instead of just deleting it all. Thanks Benjamin Haywood (talk) 17:40, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
