The Truth about Light Cigarettes – From a Smoker’s Research

Hey viewer,

This slideshow is not meant to patronize and should not be taken as such. I am myself a smoker and I am not here to persuade you to quit. I have done extensive research on light cigarettes as part of my English class project. I have discovered that there have been researches proven to counter the notion that light cigarette is a safer alternative, contrary to what tobacco companies claim. My only objective is to share my research. All my sources are reliable. I hope you enjoy this slideshow and find it interesting.
