But are these American spirit cigarettes safe for our health, or is it just the same as any other brand of cigarettes?
The truth is that they are the same as any other cigarette. People only have a misconception about this brand. People think that this brand is less harmful and, so they encourage other people to switch to this brand rather than telling them to quit smoking.
American spirit with Natural, no addictive, organic written on the back of the package has created more problems for the people’s lives. Instead of quitting, they are switching brands. On the backside of the package of American spirit cigarette, it’s written “No addictive in our tobacco does not mean a safe cigarette” But people won’t see that. So Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decided to take enforcement action against the manufacturing company and the owner of America’s spirit for marketing the brand with reduced harm claims without approval.
Researching on various American spirits, researchers found that:
- The level of toxic and cancer-causing chemicals are similar in both brands.
- The Tobacco fillers are more in American spirits.
- American spirit smokers also have higher exposer to Nicotine per cigarette smoked.
- The terms natural, original, addition free, preservative-free creates misconceptions among people.
