Commercial cigarettes smell like a burnt automobile interior. Fire retardant, plenty of carcinogen content, and lets not forget that somehow Polonium 210 is in there, a form of radiation which accumulates in the smokers lungs. I could go on a hate rant about any and all of this. I don't know what it is about mass production/commercial tobacco, but I would imagine that if you grew the plant yourself, harvest, dry/cure and process into pipe or cigarette tobacco, it won't smell like the floor sweepings they roll up and put on the market. I don't know what it is, but people just get hooked and it is absolutely the worst bad habit you can have.

It will be interesting how it pans out for my mother, an incessant smoker who sits in a brown tar stained room and smokes every half hour of the day. She looks the part, as this habit ages you unbelievably. There is absolutely nothing good about smoking cigarettes, though you can roll your own with better tobacco, that does not reek of burnt garbage, I can't see the benefits of any of it.

I remember these advertising campaigns, the ad executives, the tobacco companies, exploited the people to make their fortunes, with an extremely harmful and addicting substance, think any of them smoke this garbage ????? My grandfather was a commercial artist whom worked for the NYS dept of Commerce, as well as doing side work, one job he did was producing anti smoking stickers for the cancer society right when they determined it was a health hazard in the early 60's. It was copyrighted work, and I can't find a one of those old stickers at this point. He was a heavy smoker himself !!! he ended up with high BP, cardio issues, went off his BP meds and suffered a stroke, left him half paralyzed and between the VA hospital. all the other places, 4 or 5 years of suffering through how it left him, he finally passed. I only knew him a short while, then got to watch his demise on a weekly basis, there is no doubt it was from this bad habit. I can remember all the veteran patients in that VA hospital as a youngster, a very somber learning experience.

Fun to watch your mother slowly decay from the effects of their products.
