You claim that cigarettes have gotten safer. That is absolutely not true. Research shows that the nicotine levels have increased almost two fold since the manufacturers began making them. The “light” cigarettes actually have been found to be more dangerous, since smokers indulge to satisfy their physical dependency, and simply inhale deeper and hold the smoke longer than regular cigs. The result in highly increased exposure to the many carcinogens, hence greater risk.
So please share the science that indicates increased safety if cigarettes today. Unless you were just being sarcastic (דן לכף זכות). It is definitely not factually accurate.
