유기농 비유기농 담배, 차이가 없다는 미국의 거짓정보
영어로 찾아보면
첨가물이 없는 유기농 담배나 일반 담배[regular, 또는 conventional cigarette]나
건강이나 안전에 별로 도움이 안된다는 거짓 정보가 나온다.
생각을 해보자,
유기농과 비유기농에 차이가 없다면 농업, 식품에 큰 문제가 생긴다.
분명 달라야한다.
유기농이란 화학 비료를 쓰지 않고 퇴비를 사용하거나 윤작을 하는것을 말한다.
담배 식물 자체 연초는 같아도
유기농 담배란 재배 과정에서 화학비료를 사용하지 않고,
가공 과정에서 첨가물을 사용하지 않는것을 말한다.
그게 어째서 차이가 없다는것인가?
담배회사들은 법에 의해 여러가지 첨가물을 넣어야하고
첨가물이 안들어 간 유기농 담배가 많이 팔리는것을 싫어한다.
미국 인디안이 재배하는 American Spirit 같은 유기농 담배가 많이 팔리는것을 원치 않아서
유기농 비유기농 건강에는 차이가 없다고 거짓정보만 있다.
혹시 미국인디안들이
자기들이 피우는 담배와
판매하는 담배의 가공 과정이 다를수는 있으나
첨가물이 안들어갔다는것만 해도 건강에 차이는 있다.
세금을 안내는 불법 담배는 값이 싸고,
피우면 더 빨리 탄다고한다.
왜냐하면 아마
화재안전 첨가물 fire safe additives,
불길 억제제 flame retardant additives 를
의무적으로 넣어야하는데,
그런게 안들어있어서 더 빨리 타는것같다.
그것만해도 건강에 도움이 된다.
여러분들에게 권하는 건
아래 Less harmful cigarette, least dangerous cigarettes to smoke, 을 권하는데
이상하게 여기에 첨가물이 안들어 간 additives–Free
미국 인디안 담배 American Spirit 가 빠져있다.
내가 아는 미국인은 pall mall 을 피우는데, 이 담배는 California 에서 살수가 없어서
Tennessee 주 까지 차를 타고가서 [약 1500 마일] 200 박스를 사 온다.
가주에도 pall mall 말고도, 니코틴이 적은 담배들 얼마던지 있다.

Are organic cigarettes better than regular cigarettes?
a cigarette with organic tobacco or tobacco with no additives does NOT make it healthier or safer than other cigarettes.
All cigarettes - including those marketed as "natural," "organic" or "additive-free" - have harmful substances such as heavy metals, tar and carbon monoxide,

유기농 식품, 자연 식품, organic foods 이란 무엇?
유기농 식품(有機農食品)은 합성 농약과 화학 비료 따위의 현대의 합성 물질들을 수반하지 않는 농법으로 생산한 식품을 말한다.
또, 유기농 식품은 방사능 처리(발광 처리), 산업용 솔벤, 화학 식품 첨가물을 이용하여 가공되지 않는다.
[허브] 약초 담배 (담뱃잎 대신 박하, 레몬그라스, 계피, 클로버, 장미꽃 등의 허브를 넣어 만든 담배로 중독성은 없으나, 식물 태우는 연기를 들이마시는 것은 일반 담배와 같아 호흡기에 좋지 않음)
Herbal cigarettes (also called tobacco-free cigarettes or nicotine-free cigarettes) are cigarettes that usually do not contain any tobacco or nicotine, instead being composed of a mixture of various herbs and/or other plant material,

Are Winston cigarettes still additive free?
According to America's No. 2 tobacco company, R.J. Reynolds,
its new Winston is the real real thing. The company has removed the hundreds of additives from its flagging Winston brand and kicked off a national marketing campaign stressing that the product is "real," "naked," with "true taste" and "No Bull."

Many smokers chose so-called low-tar, mild, light, or ultralight cigarettes because they thought these cigarettes would expose them to less tar and would be less harmful to their health than regular or full-flavor cigarettes.
However, light cigarettes are no safer than regular cigarettes.
---------
By this point, most people are aware that smoking cigarettes is bad for your health.
Nearly 1 in 5 people who die in the United States every year die from cigarette smoking, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But smoking is addictive, and quitting is easier said than done. Still, some companies, including American Spirit, sell cigarettes that are marketed as being “natural,” “organic,” or “additive-free,” leading some to assume they’re a less harmful cigarette.
What do these terms actually mean when it comes to cigarettes?
And is organic tobacco actually any safer than conventional tobacco?
===========
Side Effects,
Decoding the labels,
In the world of cigarettes and tobacco, “organic” and similar terms don’t mean much.
This is partly why cigarette packing using these terms must also carry a disclaimer explaining that the product isn’t any safer than others.
In terms of plants, organic means a particular plant has grown in soil that’s only been treated with federally approved, non-synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
But the term isn’t regulated within the tobacco industry, so it’s mostly meaningless.
And even if the tobacco in a cigarette is truly organic,
it doesn’t have much of an impact on how the cigarette will affect your health.
The concept of “organic” cigarettes or “natural” and “additive-free” tobacco comes from a popular misconception that it’s all the artificial additives in cigarettes, rather than tobacco, that makes cigarettes harmful. But this isn’t true.
When both organic and conventional tobacco burns, it releases a range of harmful toxins, including:
- carbon monoxide
- formaldehyde
- arsenic
You inhale all of these chemicals when you smoke a cigarette. In addition, sugars in tobacco produce a compound called acetaldehyde when burned. This compound is linked to respiratory problems and an increased cancer risk. It may also be related to the additive nature of tobacco.
---------
Don’t fall for the marketing,
If you fell for the marketing ploy[계책, 술책] of “organic” cigarettes, you aren’t alone.
2018 study explored the opinions of more than 1,000 adults, including over 340 people who smoke. The investigators noted that the use of “organic” and similar terms in cigarette ads had a big effect on how people perceived the harm caused by cigarettes.
And that disclaimer they have to put on the packaging, explaining that “organic” doesn’t mean it’s safer? It didn’t have much of an effect on the study’s participants, though it did seem to have a small effect on perceived harm. Still, some said they didn’t even notice the fine-print text, while others didn’t fully trust the information.
In short, there’s no evidence to show that “organic” or “additive-free” cigarettes are any less harmful than traditional cigarettes.

All cigarettes have the same Side Effects,
Many people know cigarette smoke can cause lung cancer, but cigarette smoke can negatively affect health throughout your entire body. People around you who inhale secondhand smoke can also experience negative health effects.
Here’s a look at some of the main side effects of smoking any kind of cigarette.
Respiratory effects:
- trouble breathing or shortness of breath
- persistent cough (smoker’s cough)
- worsened asthma symptoms
- difficulty exercising or being active
Visible effects:
- dry, dull skin
- early wrinkle formation
- loss of skin elasticity
- other changes to skin tone and texture
- yellowing teeth and nails
Oral effects:
- dental issues, such as cavities, loose teeth, and tooth loss
- mouth sores and ulcers
- bad breath
- gum disease
- difficulty smelling and tasting things
Hearing and vision effects:
- reduced night vision
- cataracts (clouded eyes)
- macular degeneration (vision loss)
- inner ear damage (hearing loss)
Reproductive health effects:
- difficulty becoming pregnant
- pregnancy complications or loss
- labor complications, including heavy bleeding
- erectile dysfunction
- damaged sperm
Smoking can also:
- lower your immune system function, causing you to get sick more often and take longer to recover,
- lower your bone density, causing your bones to break and fracture more easily
- decrease your body’s ability to heal from wounds and injuries
,,, And the same long-term risks,
Smoking can have various long-term side effects on your health. If you smoke, you have a higher risk for multiple health issues, including cancer, respiratory disease, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
People who smoke are more likely to die younger than those who don’t smoke, usually as a result of smoking-related health conditions.
These conditions include:
- Cancer. Smoking not only increases your risk of developing many types of cancer, it also increases the risk you’ll die from cancer.
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Your risk for COPD increases if you smoke for a long time or smoke frequently. There’s no cure, but if you quit smoking, treatment can help manage symptoms and prevent them from worsening.
- Thickened blood and blood clots. These can both increase your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. It can also lead to peripheral vascular disease (PVD). With PVD, the flow of blood to your limbs decreases, which can cause pain and trouble walking.
- Peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD is a condition that involves a buildup of plaque that begins to block your arteries. With PAD, you have a higher risk of heart attack, heart disease, and stroke.

How to quit
Whether you smoke daily or only on occasion, quitting can have both immediate and long-term benefits for your health.
Check out this timeline of what happens to your body when you quit smoking.
Set a date ;;
If you’re ready to take the first step, start by choosing a day to begin the process. If you’ve tried to quit before and failed, don’t be too hard on yourself. Many people go through several attempts.
Plus, the nicotine found in tobacco is addictive, so quitting smoking is often more complicated than simply deciding not to smoke anymore.
Make a list ;;
Once you have a day picked out, you might find it helpful to start creating a list of reasons why you want to quit. You can come back to this list when you need a reminder.
Identify potential triggers
Finally, prepare yourself to deal with triggers. If you typically take a cigarette break at the same time each day, decide in advance what you’ll use that time for instead. If you can’t avoid situations or places where you usually smoke, try bringing something you can fidget with.
Get extra support ;;
If you smoke a lot or have been smoking for a long time, don’t be discouraged if you can’t seem to quit on your own. For some, medication, including nicotine patches or gum, and counseling provide the additional support they need.
--------
The bottom line ;;
Terms on cigarette packages such as “organic” and “additive-free” can be misleading, since they can give the impression these cigarettes are safer. The truth is, no cigarette is safe to smoke.
When burned, even the purest tobacco produces harmful substances that are strongly linked to cancer and other health conditions.
If you’re trying to switch to a safer cigarette, “organic” isn’t what you’re looking for. The only way to reduce the negative side effects of smoking is to stop smoking.
