The Truth About "Light" Cigarettes
Many smokers choose "low-tar," "mild," or "light" cigarettes because
they think that light cigarettes may be less harmful to their health
than "regular" or "full-flavor" cigarettes.
After all, the smoke from light cigarettes feels smoother and lighter
on the throat and chest -- so lights must be healthier than regulars,
right? Wrong.
The truth is that light cigarettes do not reduce
the health risks of smoking. The only way to reduce your risk, and
the risk to others around you, is to stop smoking completely.
