It's likely safer but not meaningfully enough to make much difference, as it's still obviously very bad for you

Reynolds lost a big lawsuit over its American Spirit brand implying that their cigarettes are safer. If they could have provided evidence to the contrary, they would have. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2000/04/ftc-accepts-settlements-charges-alternative-cigarette-ads-are-deceptive https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2000/04/...
- array_key_first 8mo agoI doubt it's likely at all. The thing that makes tobacco dangerous is high temperature combustion and nicotine. You get BOTH in natural tobacco. The thousands of "chemicals" from cigarettes are not put in there. They come from combustion. Setting shit on fire makes chemicals turn into other chemicals, some of them very harmful. That's why many survivors of 9/11 later died from lung cancer.
