Cigarettes vs Natural Tobacco
!!!@!!!
old and these 2 last years I have been smoking 2-3 packets of
cigarettes everyday. I'm not considering quitting smoking since I find
it very difficult and I don't have the will power to quit, but I'm
considering to stop smoking brand cigarettes and start smoking pure
rolled-in-a-cigarette natural tobacco, which I heard that lacks tar
and many other industrial health-damaging chemicals.
I wanted to know if this is true and what would be the effect of long-
term smoking of natural tobacco. Will it be less harmful for my lungs
and body than smoking brand cigarettes? What effect will it have in my
lungs? Does natural tobacco give you lung cancer? Will the probability
of getting cancer be lower if smoking natural tobacco? What about the
effects in the brain? Will it increase the nicotine addiction level?
Sorry for my bad English and thanks in advance.

What natural tobacco are you referring to?
In Denmark we had some "healthier" smokes many years ago. They were only
on the market a very short time, people wanted their regular smokes.
I smoke a pipe most of the, that's a bit "healthier" and can get two
packs of cigarettes to last a week.

"Virtually, all cigarette smokers inhale, even those who say they do not,
and they continue to do so when they switch to pipes or cigars."
--William Bennett, MD, is associate editor of the Harvard Medical
School Health Letter, Science 80, September/October 1980.
"Recall that carbon monoxide is only absorbed through the lungs. Also,
serum carboxyhemoglobin levels accurately reflect exposure to carbon
monoxide. Given the elevated serum carboxyhemoglobin levels demonstrated
in ex-cigarette smokers who smoke cigars, it is clear that ex-cigarette
smokers, even though they report no inhalation, do inhale."
--Marc J. Schneiderman, M.D., 1998
