Why were the new flavored cigarettes made?
Because it is a consumer product that is still in demand. Much like any "sin commodity" it is available to adults who pay to consume the product. Ethically, one must ask themselves if denying the right to buy the commodity would restrict both the individual's right to smoke but also the business's right to trade. In addition, the government's reliance on tax income from smokers is drastically worse than the burden of the taxpayer on medical care for smoking related illnesses. For example, over half of New Jersey's budget relies on income from smoking taxes. The government would be bankrupt, inflation would rise to an incredibly high level, and people would riot, because every single thing that they provide us now would be gone.
Tobacco has a history, particularly in the United States, as the commodity that built the country. It may not be politically correct anymore, but it helped America become a strong trading nation, with the greatest economy in the world.
Since smoking became viewed negatively after the first Surgeon General's warning in 1964, worldwide smoking has dramatically decreased, leading to a decrease of a nearly exclusive market for the US to dominate. The result is to raise the price until no one can afford it, then... the state goes broke.
If you take deep breaths after you smoke a cigarette will it clean your lungs?
No some of the smoke particulates will remain in your lungs forever.
What is the percentage of tobacco in cigarettes?
In MA, cig. taxes are $2.51 per pack of 20. Add another $1.10 for Federal Tax. Another 6% for sales tax. All told, over $4.10 goes toward taxes alone.
I purchased a carton at Duty Free in D.C. before a flight to Germany - for $31.00. Divide by 10, that's $3.10 per pack. I pay $9.70 on average for a single pack in MA. If Duty Free is making say 25%, then their cost per carton/pack is $24.00 or $2.40 (probably only $2.00).
At $2.40 cost to an average retailer, and considering the $4.10 in taxes alone, my retailer makes around $3.00 per pack, or a 50% to 60% margin. Retailers like to tell you "its the taxes, the taxes" and for the most part, it is, but don't let them fool you - they make a nice tidy profit as well.
If you smoke, take advantage of international flights, or buy from NC directly - or quit, which is the smartest thing of course. It's really not fair that smokers get crushed by these taxes. If no one bought cigarettes, then the lost revenue for the feds and states would be made up by spreading it to the whole population, not just the 20% who smoke. MA is by far the most ridiculous. Quitting is the best answer.
Yes of course,its just drying the leaves out first

The government imposes an excise tax on them
It is an e-cigarette / vaporizer! The starter kits are usually around $54.00 and include everything you need including 25 cartridges. The 25 cartridges that the starter kits come with will last you a little bit over a week. After that new 25packs will cost you about $25.00. If $25.00 a week is too much money, you can also refill your old cartridges using the cheaper e-liquid.

How many cigarettes can you bring back to the UK from tenerife?
It depends on your country regulations. because from Tunisia you can bring as much as you are permitted to, i think 40 kilograms of extra cargo maximum. but logically if you are a tourist you can bring with you up to 4000 cigarettes which means 10 packs containing 20 packet each, and each packet contains 20 cigarettes, and you won't be penalized for them from the Tunisian government.
I'm not a math expert, but I'm pretty sure that 10 x 20 = 200..... or am I wrong?
seriously though, 1 carton is the limit. 10 packs of 20

Is there a way to add moisture to bulk cigarette tobacco?
To keep your tobacco moist, you want to dampen a paper towel. Make sure its not dripping because you don't want any soaked tobacco. Fold the paper towel a few times and put it over the top of your canister. Apply the canister lid to the tobacco and let sit overnight.
How effective do you think laws forbidding the sale of cigarettes to minors are?
Laws forbidding sale of tobacco products of all types, especially cigarettes, to minors are extremely effective. That is not to imply that the laws are effective at preventing minors from smoking, but as far as them buying their own cigarettes at any established business goes, the laws prevent that. As an ex-employee of more than one convenience store/gas station, I can attest to the fact that cashiers are expected to card anyone who remotely looks like they are under 18. Businesses get stiff monetary penalties for selling tobacco to minors and cashiers can lose their jobs if they do not card. The government sends people around to make sure businesses are carding, too. They aren't people who just watch, either; they are minors (usually older minors) who attempt to purchase cigarettes.
While the laws are effective at stopping the sale of cigarettes to minors, education has been effective at actually stopping minors from smoking. After all, every minor knows someone who would be willing to buy cigarettes for them, although the laws forbid that, too.
