A move to lower the tar content of cigarettes back in the 1960s may have instead made cigarettes more dangerous to lungs. More testing and research still needs to be done, but the results will not be that we realize cigarettes aren’t all that bad.
Are you a smoker looking to quit? I have known several people who have quit almost immediately after reading The Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr.
I am usually quite skeptical of such things, but I have seen this book work over and over, including for folks who had tried many other measures before reading it. I even know a woman in her 70s who had been smoking heavily for decades and had no patience when it came to listening to new ideas for how she could quit. She read the book and hasn’t smoked for years.
