They are probably smoking American Spirits or similar "all-organic" tobacco that costs a couple bucks more per pack. Much healthier, of course.

- ececconi 11y agoAmerican Spirits are packed much tighter than the average cigarette though, a lot more tobacco per cigarette. Yes, it feels much different than even a light cigarette... so it maybe be healthier. But they would mess up my lungs pretty bad.
- filoeleven 11y agoAmerican Spirits may be pesticide-free or whatever, but they also spray liquid nicotine on their tobacco. Back when I smoked, I noticed that I was more jittery after smoking them than Camels; it made sense when I learned about the much higher nicotine content.
- jsprogrammer 11y agoWouldn't a higher nicotine content be preferable? You wouldn't need to burn and inhale as much plant matter to receive the same dose.
- filoeleven 11y agoIt probably depends on the smoker. I only had 3-4 cigs per day unless I was drinking, and just one American Spirit was enough to make me feel not-so-good for half an hour or so after smoking. A pack-a-day smoker might benefit, except that the habit is just as strong as the addiction so I suspect they'll just ingest more nicotine while smoking the same number of cigarettes. I remember reading that the nicotine levels were markedly higher, like an order of magnitude, but I'm not having any luck finding the numbers (or even the references) to substantiate it.
