Harmless cigarettes do not exist
Harmfulness of tobacco products is almost an axiom. A man today is very anxious about his health condition, and with the help of numerous propaganda videos he began thinking more often about giving up such a bad habit. Because of this, the tobacco companies, which do not want to lose their profits, quickly reacted to this change in public mood and put on the market “nicotine-free cigarettes". As creators say, if you start using this sort of production, this will not only save your health, but also will help you to get rid of nicotine dependence with time. And then you can smoke further without thinking any more about threatening lung cancer and other consequences of smoking.
However the question about “nicotine-free cigarettes" is not so simple. Moreover, as physicians say, this sort of cigarettes can cause even much more harm to the organism, than traditional cigarettes. During the research conducted by American researchers it was found out that the levels of nicotine and carbon monoxide, which are the basic components of expired smoke, in "safe" cigarettes were substantially above the normal values. Other substitutes of tobacco, such as Indian biri, very popular among American and European youth appeared to be no less dangerous.
More details about the results of this research can be found in last number of Nicotine and Tobacco Research magazine.
