Myth: If I smoke only
filtered, menthol, or low-tar cigarettes, I'll be safe.
Fact: Smokers who
puff on only one or a few cigarettes a day or smoke low-tar cigarettes have a
tendency to take more drags on the few cigarettes they allot themselves each
day because they sense they're getting less nicotine and need to fill that
craving. Despite the filters, nicotine and other dangerous chemicals still get
through when you smoke. People who smoke filtered or low-tar brands may inhale
even more deeply, thereby getting more carbon monoxide and other substances
into their lungs, according to the National Cancer Institute.
