Which is more harmful to your health, thin cigarettes or thick cigarettes?

We all know that there are six words printed on cigarette boxes: "Smoking is harmful to health." Even so, there are still a large number of smokers in my country. Cigarettes are used as a pastime, and people can light up a cigarette at any time after meals and puff out smoke.

Evidence shows that the longer you smoke, the more addicted you become, and the more difficult it is to quit smoking. The nicotine in cigarettes can paralyze people's nerves and make them dependent. With the changes in society, the brands and types of cigarettes are constantly innovating. Old smokers who often buy different types of cigarettes will definitely notice a phenomenon, that is, there are more and more thin-rod cigarettes on the market.

Why does this thin-stem cigarette appear?

Because there are also female smokers among smokers. When choosing cigarettes, they pay more attention to the shape of cigarettes than men. The more exquisite and trendy the cigarettes are, the stronger their desire to buy them will be. This is one of the reasons why there are more and more slim-stem cigarettes.

The PM2.5 of thick cigarettes and thin cigarettes is different

Based on some existing experiments, we can get some data. The experimental team compared the PM2.5 of thick-stem cigarettes and thin-stem cigarettes. The results showed that the PM2.5 concentration produced by the tobacco of thick-stem cigarettes during the combustion process was very high, reaching 58.9ug per square meter at one point.

Next, the experimental team repeated the above experiment on slim-stem cigarettes using the controlled variable method. The results showed that the PM2.5 concentration produced by slim-stem cigarettes when burned reached 60ug per square meter.

Therefore, according to the data, thin-rod cigarettes produce higher PM2.5 when burned and may be more harmful to the human body.

Therefore, we cannot conclude based solely on subjective experience that thick-stemmed cigarettes are more harmful to the body than thin-stemmed cigarettes.

The more expensive the cigarettes, the less harmful they are?

First of all, this statement is wrong. Smoking is harmful to health, this is something everyone knows, and this conclusion will not change because of the reduction in cigarette prices. It can be said that whether you smoke 10 yuan a pack of cigarettes or 1,000 yuan a pack of cigarettes, it is harmful to the body, and it is even more impossible to have benefits just because of the high price.

This is because the harm caused by cigarettes mainly comes from nicotine, tar and other harmful substances in tobacco. These harmful substances will not decrease just because the price of cigarettes becomes more expensive, so everyone must not hold the idea that "the more expensive the cigarettes, the less harm."
