Cigarettes
A cigarette is a small paper-wrapped cylinder. The cylinder contains cured, shredded or cut tobacco leaves. A normal cigarette length is 120 mm in length and 10 mm in diameter. When the non-filtered end is burnt, it results in the tobacco being burnt and creates smoke. Cigarettes are used to inhale the smoke of the tobacco. The inhalation process is done through the mouth, with the filtered end put in.
Tobacco cigarettes are available in the market or can be prepared by hand. Special hand-rolling tobacco is available and is prepared in the form of strands. Commercial cigarettes usually contain a cellulose, acetate or cotton filter through which the smoker inhales the cigarette's smoke. The filter serves to cool and clean the smoke to a certain extent.
Cigarettes are normally used for tobacco smoke delivery, and in some cases, marijuana smoke delivery. Marijuana smokers normally roll the paper at the ends, as the fine marijuana buds used to prepare hand-rolled marijuana cigarettes have a tendency to fall out from the rolled paper.
Tobacco used in commercial cigarettes is rarely pure. Various additives are used to enhance the taste of the tobacco. The leaves of a tobacco plant are dried and then treated with a number of additives and chemicals. The smoke of tobacco contains more than 4,000 chemicals, and many of them are carcinogenic, toxic and mutagenic.
Cigarettes are distinguished from cigars by their smaller size. Processed tobacco leaves and paper are used to prepare cigarettes, whereas cigars are entirely made up of whole-leaf tobacco.
Some of the most popular brands of cigarettes around the world are:
Benson and Hedges
Marlboro
Gold Flake
Pall Mall
Rothmans
Davidoff
Consulate
Ducados
