I mean you could probably make some negligible heath improvements to cigarettes. How would you even quantify that? In the end burning stick make carcinogens.

Although I have to say, one thing that trips me out is the government has mandated through regulation that cigarettes contain even more dangerous chemicals when they started requiring “Fire Safe Cigarettes”. The intention of the regulation is to prevent house and other fires by mandating that cigarettes extinguish themselves if they aren’t being actively smoked. They do this by embedding plastic/glue in rings in the paper. When the switch occurred (10 years ago now?) many, many smokers noticed a change in taste of their smokes. Most preferred the old (non FSC) flavor. I can only imagine what new carcinogens are generated by burning and inhaling plastic with your tobacco.
