For these reasons, smokers inhale much higher levels of cancer-causing car, addictive nicotine and poisonous carbon monoxide than the levels listed on the package. In pioneering research, the Office of Tobacco Control of Health Canada has developed new tests which more closely mirror realistic smoking conditions. These tests still use smoking machines, but changes are made so that the machine smokes more like a real person does. At the request of Health Canada, it re-tested Canadian cigarettes using these new methods. The results show few differences between brands of cigarettes.
All brands are equally dangerous.
There is virtually no difference in the tar, nicotine or carbon monoxide in any of these 25 cigarette brands. The 'lighter' the cigarette, the more misleading the label. Please inform our WebMaster.
