Myth: Smoking only filtered, menthol, or low-tar cigarettes is safe.
Fact: Puffing on only one or a few cigarettes a day or smoking low-tar cigarettes can cause smokers to take more drags on the few cigarettes they allot themselves each day. This is 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. According to the National Cancer Institute, people who smoke filtered or low-tar brands may inhale even more deeply, thereby getting more carbon monoxide and other substances into their lungs.
