question about cigarettes

okay well i didnt know what section to ask this in so yeah i'll just put it here

someone told me that when you're smoking a cigarette and you put it out and save the short for later that it's double the cancer when you re-light it. does anyone know if this is true/why???

i hope it's not because i always save my shorts.

 

I always smoke my cigs all the way down to the Marlboro logo. I'm guessing by short you mean when you have a little left? But ya I heard your suppose to leave a little bit on the cig for that reason also.

 

No it's not true.

 

why would you want to smoke a cig thats already been put out i always thought they taste like shit when ya did that and my smoker buddies always say it ruins the cig.

 

^well. if you can't afford any more and there's some shorts lying in your ashtray, you're probably gonna smoke them.

and i've never heard of that but it doesn't really make sense.

 

S'bullshit man.

Don't listen to em.

 

that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard.

 

How could that possibly happen?

 

I always end up putting mine out half way down and relighting em (I smoke kingsize most of the time, and tend to smoke quite near to where my mum works when I'm with mates, so when we move off I have to put em out temporarily) , but nah, there's no reason I can think of that would cause it to do more damage (unless, you put it out in something carcinogenic and it melted it, but not even sure that'd cause it)

 

i don't see how that would be possible...

 

i've got some ocean property in montana. Would you like to buy it?

 

No thanks I've already got my mountain home in florida

 

I highly doubt that it's any worse for you. I smoke mine to the filter.

 

You're already smoking cigarettes why are you worried about getting cancer?

 

i'm not worried about getting cancer, i was just wondering why putting it out would cause more cancer because like 3 people have told me that but i guess it's not true

 

Yeah, I'm guessing it's one of those urban legend things. I know smoking the filter doesn't do you any good, but re-lighting won't make a difference.

 

well the very end is worser for u becouse when u smoke all the smoke filters through the tobacco and the end of the cigaret there for all the tar and nicotine is concentrated there thats why it taste like shit but it dos int meter if you smoke it in 1 go or 2 it will do the same damage.now if you would smoke first and pass the cigaret to yuor buddy he would get a better chance of getting cancer if that would be done all the time.

 

well unless you put out your cigarette on the monstrous tumor on grandma's back, i dont see how thats logical.

but i used to do that when i was broke, buy 100's and smoke a half at a time.

 

Its a bit nasty but no...It won't increase your chances of getting cancer.


Which reminds me...I gotta go feed the cancer baby growing inside my lungs >.<
