Smoking is healthy as long as it's organic
Cigarettes were still well under three dollars a pack when I quit smoking. Even then I refused to jump on the American Spirits bandwagon. I knew cigarettes were bad for me and I wasn't about to spend a dollar more per pack to feel like I was making up for the ills of General Custer (in fact the company was bought by Reynolds American in 2002 so the money is really going to "The Man" now).This cigarette brand is a great example of how a little marketing can make something toxic seem healthy. Although the brand uses only 100% tobacco in the cigarette, there is no comment as to whether additives are in the rolling papers. Their website touts their organic and sustainable growth crops but the filters are made from cellulose acetate, a plastic. American Spirit's butts are as ugly as everyone else's.

Kelly, you'll have a hell of a time PROVING smoking is unhealthy.You've been listening to paid liars.
Chances are, as an ex-smoker you'll find a need for Big Pharma's replacement drugs,including antidepressants, sleep aids, weight loss drugs and others, costing ten times as much as cigarettes.
And you won't be a damn bit healthier. Wait and see.

Joe, thanks for the comment. Actually I quit cold (free-range organic) turkey and I feel a lot healthier.

StacyAnna:You've been brainwashed by the multibillion dollar antitobacco fraud. Yes, I suspect I will die someday and so will you but I'll blame it on old age,not smoking.
I wouldn't waste my time arguing with a numbskull
like you. I'd just ignore you, as would any thinking person.
