Fiberglass in cigarettes? Are you sure you're not confusing this with chew/dip? I've heard it before about dip, but not cigarettes.


Not saying that there isn't a load of crap they put into cigarettes, just possibly not fiberglass.

I've heard that too, but I have no idea how accurate it is. Actually, it was more to do with the filter containing fiberglass if I recall.

I had heard Menthols contained fiberglass, but I believe this was just a rumor.

The average cigar has as much or more nicotine than a pack of cigarettes. But as others have said, the absorption rate is much lower. Most cigar smokers do not inhale, but we do hold smoke in the mouth and nicotine gets into the bloodstream that way. Cigarettes are like syringes, just a delivery system for the nicotine and whatever other chemicals that have been added.
There is an excellent History/Discovery documentary on the making of cigarettes.

The cigarette fiberglass myth lives! What they do have are things to make them more alkaline and thus increase nicotine uptake.
