What are cigarretes made up?

Cigarettes are made by blending different varieties of tobaccos. Typical American cigarettes are made of 60 percent Virginia, 30 percent burley and 10 percent Oriental (usually Turkish) tobacco, but Santa Fe Natural's customers prefer 100 percent Virginia tobacco. Cigarettes are manufactured out of cured and finely cut tobacco leaves. Nicotine, the stimulant and active ingredient in cigarettes, is highly addictive. Smoking has been linked to lung cancer by medical research institutions throughout the world (through the use of observational studies). Smoking men are 22 times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smoking men and smoking women are 12 times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smoking women. Cigarette smoking increases the risk for many types of cancer, including cancers of the lip, oral cavity, and pharynx; oesophagus; pancreas; larynx (voice box); lung; breast; uterine cervix; urinary bladder; and kidney. Recent findings by the World Health Organization suggest that U.S. white male smokers have an 8% chance of acquiring lung cancer at some point in their lives, as opposed to the 2% chance of acquiring lung cancer among U.S. white male non-smokers. Certain other lung disorders, like emphysema, are also linked to cigarette smoking. Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage, underweight, and deformed infants. Smoking also increases the chance of heart attacks and a variety of cancers. Long-term smokers tend to look older than non-smokers of the same age, because smoking can increase wrinkling in the skin.-

How can smoking tobacco affect your health?

Despite health issues with cigarettes and cigars, cigarettes contains only 5% of natural tobacco, the rest of them are artificial substances added. Premium cigars are made 100% with natural tobacco, nothing added except all the work behind them. Smoking cigarettes is usually linked to nervous and anxiety, but smoking a cigar should be a relaxing experience. People who are walking on the streets smoking a premium cigar are really amateurs and they do not know for sure how to properly "enjoy" a cigar. Cigars are usually smoked along with a nice beverage, such a good whiskey, cognac, brandy, Ron or a good coffee or even a cup of tea.

Why are tobacco and alcohol and ultraviolet radiation listed as carcinogens?

It could be connected somehow with the fact that tests, studies, and surveys over forty years and thousands of subjects have demonstrated that regular tobacco use, excessive consumption of alcohol, and excessive exposure to UV are all linked to the increased occurrence of certain types of cancers, and that the increase is statistically significant to a degree that these factors may realistically be called 'causes'.
