Go completely green and cut off that filter for a pure experience.
And miss out on those natural asbestos minerals?
Heck go completely green and remove the tobacco and replace with marijuana
The majority of carcinogens from smoking tobacco are created by burning the plant fibers. Quitting smoking is the number thing someone who smokes can do to improve their health. Vaping exposes individuals to fewer carcinogens than smoking, but still has the negative health impacts of nicotine alone on heart and mental health and still some carcinogen exposure.

I know that, it's just an ironic joke. It's funny because cigarettes are actually worse.
Well, if you leave the tar out, it would be better than regular cigarettes. Not sure how that compares to vapes though. The small, cheap ones put burnt copper in your lungs.
Even without tar, you're still breathing in smoke
No arguing. Just comparing apples to other apples.
Safest form of travel isn't airplanes. It's staying home.
It’s metal… in ya lungs!

I need to start growing my own tobacco.
I've been wanting to do that for a while now but haven't tried it yet because the Wikihow article about growing tobacco says that the last step is to age it for 5-6 years. Turns out that step is optional (it even says so in the article, I just never read past the first bullet point), though you'll get harsh tobacco if you skip it. But I don't smoke, so I don't care about harshness.
Anyway, you should give it a try, maybe it's fun, and working with plants is always a good time :3
We live in a world where I read "high schoolers" and my brain autocorrected it to "high school shooters".
Just the other day I was talking about how smoking is good for the environment but only because of the amount of people it kills.
I wonder sometime how bad for the health it is to smoke tabacco leaves, just tabbaco nothing else.

Tobacco tends to contain high levels of Polonium-210, which is radioactive and decays into lead, so.
The problem with cigarettes mostly isn't additives, it's the above, and the fact that smoke in general is bad for you, and contains all sorts of nasty chemicals
I've seen two brands that claim they are nothing but dried tobacco with no additives; but I know that must be bullshit because some of the additives are mandated by the government. Like the shit that makes it go out faster to prevent wildfires.
Those brands are Nat's and American Spirit. They both also taste like dogshit.
Omg I loved Nat's. I had quit smoking cigarettes before they closed down but I was still kind of sad to see them go.
My understanding is there is no additives to make it go out fast only they made the paper thicker. I can't imagine how they got rid of all the chemicals used to make paper, though. Talking about straight bleach and naoh.
