[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 375494"] Real leaf would still be the predominant ingredient in cigarettes. The other processed stuff, as per the video link by puros-bran, is made up of offcuts. As for the sheet tobacco, that it is reconstituted doesn't make it un natural. We would have to call bread un natural if we applied the same reasoning. The addition of humectants, flavourings, acidity stabilisers etc in cigarettes isn't something peculiar to tobacco. The ingredients on a Pringles tin is interesting reading . But I have yet to hear anyone say Pringles, and all the other foods that contain additives, cause cancer and lung disease. Basically, because they don't. I apologise if it seems like I am preaching here. My concern is that there is an idea out there that 'pure' tobacco blends are safe to inhale because they don't have additives. No tobacco smoke is safe to inhale. If such a thing were possible Big Tobacco would hardly have passed on the opportunity over the last 50 to take it to market. This page by the Seattle Pipe Club with a summation of relative risks from different types of smoking is probably well known to most here. Still, might be a good time to post it for the benefit of those who haven't read it.
