No, cadmium is there, it's supposedly for getting it to stay lit longer. But it's there to be addictive too, it gives them the metallic flavor they have when you smoke one after a long abstinence. Like smoking a battery or some shit. That's the cadmium, battery metal by the way, and it is apparently a naturally addictive element.
- bitmapper 4y agoThere's cadmium there, yeah. But cadmium is not addictive, and is not a reason for cigarettes being addictive. Removing the cadmium will not make cigarettes less addictive. Tobacco plants pull metals in from the soil, which includes cadmium, and radioisotopes of polonium and lead.
- daniel-cussen 4y agoSo while I was off cigarettes I would vape, then still craved cigarettes. But I was getting all this nicotine, right? Then I smoked one, as planned, one per season while quitting, which changes the self-talk from "I can never smoke again" to "I gotta hold out for Autumn." Then I smoke it, it's so metallic. Incredible. I personally craved the metal, and in particular I did find a study rats preferred some dosage of something with cadmium in it.
