why are so many extra chemicals and things put in cigarettes?
In: Other
Additives are used to make cigarettes taste:
1. better
2. more consistent from batch to batch
3. more distinctive by brand
which is about the same reason that chemicals are added to mass produced food and beverage.
As to their effects on health, I have always liked this quote from the Surgeon General of the US (circa 1985 from memory) “Burning tobacco is so noxious in itself, that putting additives in it really can’t make it any worse.” To my belief they’ve never tested nor regulated additives for pretty much this reason.
