Low-tar tobacco products equal to the low hazard
Against tobacco companies generally advertised "low-tar cigarettes harm, low carcinogenic" fallacy, authoritative experts have made it clear that low tar does not equal low-hazard, without any tobacco product is safe.

Professor Yang Gonghuan of the deputy director of the China CDC, said: "low-tar cigarettes and regular cigarettes are harmful to health. Medical study found that smokers will smoke low tar cigarettes more deeply into the lungs, thereby increasing the risk of lung cancer."

In response to concerns about the growing number of smokers on the health problems of Western tobacco companies in the middle of last century introduced a low-tar and mild cigarettes, its name comes from the smoking machine testing, these cigarette delivery of tar and nicotine is less than the ordinary cigarettes. However, the tobacco industry internal documents show that low-tar cigarette mouth just in the filter to play a lot of ventilation a small hole, used to dilute the smoke, deceived by the test of the smoking machine to alert to digestion people the risk of smoking in order to expand the sales of cigarettes .

Smokers make themselves against the dangers of tobacco, the only effective way is to stop smoking completely.
