- A
cigarette (French: "small cigar", from cigare + -ette) is a small
roll of finely cut tobacco leaves wrapped in a cylinder of thin
paper for smoking.
-
The cigarette is ignited at one end and allowed to smoulder; its
smoke is inhaled from the other end, which is held in or to the
mouth and in some cases a cigarette holder may be used as well.
-
Most modern manufactured cigarettes are filtered and include
reconstituted tobacco and other additives.
-
The term cigarette, as commonly used, refers to a tobacco cigarette
but can apply to similar devices containing other herbs, such as
cloves or cannabis.
- A
cigarette is distinguished from a cigar by its smaller size, use of
processed leaf, and paper wrapping, which is normally white, though
other colors are occasionally available.
-
Cigars are typically composed entirely of whole-leaf tobacco.
-
Rates of cigarette smoking vary widely, and have changed
considerably over the course of history – since cigarettes were
first widely used in the mid-19th century.
-
While rates of smoking have over time leveled off or declined in the
developed world, they continue to rise in developing nations.
-
Nicotine, the primary psychoactive chemical in tobacco and therefore
cigarettes, is psychologically addictive, although it does not
engender a physiological dependency (e.g. discontinuation does not
evoke somatic withdrawal syndromes as do drugs such as alcohol or
opioids).
-
Statistically each cigarette smoked shortens the user's lifespan by
11 minutes.
-
New research has shown that thirdhand smoke, which are caused when
tobacco traces are transmitted through a secondhand smoker to a
third person, increases the probability of lung-related diseases.
-
Cigarettes are the most frequent source of fires in private homes,
which has prompted the European Union and the United States to ban
cigarettes that are not fire standard compliant by 2011.
-
Modern commercially manufactured cigarettes are seemingly simple
objects consisting mainly of a tobacco blend, paper, PVA glue to
bond the outer layer of paper together, and often also a cellulose
acetate–based filter.
