What is inside a cigarette?

April 14, 2008 by Geeks are Sexy | 8 comments

Ever wondered about what’s really inside a U.S. blended cigarette? If you are a smoker and haven’t been given enough reasons to stop smoking yet, you’ll want to watch the following documentary. I know most smokers will dismiss everything said in the video as sensationalism, but as someone who lost 4 dear friends (who were heavy smokers) to lung cancer, and who died horribly by the way, I can assure you that the fact that they caught the disease was no coincidence.

Okay. Honestly, do we need another one of these videos? I think maybe a limited crowd of perhaps 5 percent of the smokers are unaware of the dangers, of the chemicals that go into a cigarette and so on. And yes, lung cancer affects smokers in a smashing 95 percent majority.
But let them people smoke if that’s what they want eh?

Well, to tell you honestly, I learned a thing or two while watching it… I knew that chemicals were introduced in cigarette’s tobacco, but I didn’t exactly knew how it was done..

I’m not sure it matters all that much, I think everyone has a pretty darn good idea about why and how bad smoking is for you. You probably don’t smoke Kiltak;)

As a smoker I’m interested in watching the video, but unfortunately it looks like the video it down.

You know, I really wish you guys would stick with the “geeky” stuff and get off the nanny-state pulpit. I am seriously considering removing this site from my RSS feed.

And Kiltak: I’m sorry you lost four dear friends, but in the words of the late Bill Hicks, “Non-smokers die every day,” too. My wife’s mother died from lung cancer and she never smoked and did not associate with smokers, or go to smoky pubs, or what have you. Everyone dies of something. Everyone will die eventually. Non-smokers are not immortal. I’m so tired of everyone telling us what we should and shouldn’t do.

Can we get back to the geeky stuff now?

I have to say that is awesome and the video I needed to say. I quit smoking 2 days ago and this is an even more motivation. The only thing that sucks was the video cut out.
