Okay, long story is, I used to be a long haul trucker and back in the 1990's, I hauled cigarettes for RJ Reynolds Company from Virginia to Los Angeles. Very high dollar freight. I got to knowing one particular shipping clerk who gave me the inside scoop on cigarettes. He said that cigarettes are not made directly from tobacco, but was made from huge rolls of paper on huge ass rolling machines. The actual tobacco got processed and cooked and shredded to a soupy pulp. The final soup was strained and the tobacco material was discarded. The juice extracted was then adulterated with formaldehyde, tar and all sorts of added stimulants and addictive materials and then piped into the main plant and sprayed on the paper as it rolled along. The now brown-colored paper went over heaters (flames I recall) to dry it, then on to a chopping machine which reduced it to those identical tiny bits you find in cigarettes if you really take a look at one. The finished poisonous shreds then go into the cigarette making machinery. Cigarettes are not tobacco products, they are artificial and are designed to addict, sicken and eventually kill the customer after a lifetime of paying for their deadly addictive products. Finale: Hey, tobacco addicts. You can legally buy and plant your own tobacco plants. You can save all that money, get your fix, and avoid the intentional toxins.
