The Cigarette and the Smoking Experience Philip Morris USA is a producer of American blend cigarettes. The cigarettes are designed to provide a smoking experience for an adult. Made primarily from tobacco, flavorings and paper, the majority of the products have a cellulose acetate filter to adjust the delivery of the smoke that is emitted when the cigarette is lit. The consumer draws on the cigarette and inhales the smoke or gaseous, vaporous system into his or her lungs, then exhales the smoke into the air. The smoke delivers flavors, carbon monoxide, nicotine and tar to the smoker.
Different people smoke for different reasons.
But the primary reason is to deliver nicotine into their bodies. Nicotine is an alkaloid derived from the tobacco plant. It is a physiologically active, nitrogen containing substance. Similar organic chemicals include nicotine, quinine, cocaine, atropine and morphine. While each of these substances can be used to affect human physiology, nicotine has a particularly broad range of influence.
