    Question A Healthier Cigarette

    I was thinking since so many ppl die from cigarettes, why not make some kind of a filter you put in front of the cigarette that will make it less deadly.

    less smoke in ur lungs = lower risk of dieing

    The filter would have to be small, no one wants to see a "vaccume" in front of ur cigar...

    Let me know if its a good idea, I dont think anyone had done it yet since I have never seen one before...

    Thank you

    They already exist. They sell them at alot of gas stations for $0.25 each or 5 for $1.00. I couldn't imagine many people buying them though because most smokers already complain about the price increase over the past few years. Good thinking though.

    You've never seen a filter-tip cigarette? Have yo uever seen Lucky Strikes that have no spongey filter and then Marlboros that have them? Do any of your friends smoke?

    Theres many types of smoking filters on the market. Its not a new concept, but I beleive there is always room for a well marketed product. With filters, you run into inherant problems.


    Less smoke per cigarette = more cigarettes smoked (Just as low tar cigarettes proved). If the user (long time chronic smoker) is not getting enough nicotine, most will reach for another cigarette.

    When the cigarette burns, it releases the nicotine. Unfortunatly it is the burning process which also releases the carcinigines. Decrease the smoke inhalation and you decrease the nicotine levels.

    I do beleieve there can be a "healthier" cigarette- but the cigarette its self would have to be changed. Geneticly altered tobacco perhaps.

    I was just reading an article about nicotine.

    I vaguely remember any points to back up the supposed fact, but basically it said that nicotine has many health benefits to it's consumption... Something about Alzheimer's...

    Make an energy drink that 1) Actually tastes good and 2) has all the usual stuff, including a few mg's of nicotine!

    Get some pseudo-science on your side. It's worked with almost every other health food, diet, supplement, etc...
    Ha.

    It'd be a hit!

    I like that idea.

    Keeping in mind that nicotine is used as a pesticide. Nicotine is also very addicitive. It would not be recepted well if marketed staright as a supplement in a energy drink...enless said drink is marketed to smokers wanting to quite. Much like a nicotine gum is marketed. It is their goto drink to control their cravings and perhaps give them a small energy boost (a coffe replacment?)

    Better yet, a nicotine coffe mixer

    Anyone (preferably with brewing capabilities) down for giving it a shot?

    Smoking at all is terrible, and the fact remains that everyone should quit no matter what. I always thought to myself "what if there was a way to remove the tar on the inside of people's lungs?" An idea or draft... maybe some kind of "treatment" you take for a month and then slowly but surely the tar is exhaled in the some form.

    ^^ Hey, its a possible idea, until that idea is invented, eat some apples and stop smoking (I read somewhere that apples help strengthen your lungs or something.)
