The big addiction of cigs isn't so much the nicotine, it's all the other additives.
I would stick with a brand that is 100% additive free, such as Drum or American Spirit.

One thing that gets me is that you always hear things like "my Grandfather smoked until he was 101, then was hit by a truck" so that must mean that its ok to smoke.
The problem is that the land where they grow the tobacco was farmed out of natural nutrients years ago. They are having to do all sorts of things to grow the same or more product. The fertilizers and such are ending up in the tobacco and into the smoke we breathe in.
To boot the tobacco companies are putting new chemicals in the fags to get the nicotine into the blood system better. Agree that pure tobacco is lots better than what is in most of todays cigarettes but why smoke in the first place? It kills you...
