 Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2009 4:10 pm Post subject: What do they put in Korean cigarettes? |
 |
|
I'm from America, and I use to smoke American Spirits (all natural). Since coming to Korea I smoke Dunhills (I think they're all natural, aren't they? At least back in America?).
I only smoke 2 cigarettes a day, but I feel like crap ever since I came here. Not sick, but just congested. I can't tell if it's because of the crap air quality or whatever they put in the cigarettes.
On that note, what's with the face masks people wear? Is that for all the dust or are they sick?
Does anyone know of any all natural cigarettes in Korea?
I'm trying to kick the 2 cigs a day, but until I do, I'd like to get poisoned as little as possible.
Thanks for any info. |

| Well, considering what they put in baby milk, I'm surprised you'd have to ask if there's possibly anything bad in Korean cigarettes. |

| obviously cigarettes are terrible for you, I'm just wondering if Koreans put any crazy sh*t in them - mercury, etc. Americans put crazy stuff in their cigs too, but you have the option in America to smoke additive-free cigs. I'm just asking if we have that option in Korea. |

Name me one Korean baby milk manufacturer that had any contamination.
If you'd stopped with your racist anti-Korean agenda for a second, you'd realize that what the OP is smoking, Dunhill cigarettes, is made by the British American Tobacco company. |

The U.S. puts more nicotine and adds ammonia compunds to speed up the burning process, so one smokes more. The increased nicotine to up the addictive properties. In essence, cigs are a nicotine delivery system. Even worse, Dip! They put micro fragments of fiberglass in the chew. The nice juicey flavor has embalming fluid in it. So when the fiberglass cuts the inside of your lip, the embalming fliud which contains much more nicotine than smokes, and other healthy carcinogenic metals, seep right into your blood stream. Another well designed delivery system!
I don't know about Korean cigs. But I would like to know if anything out of the ordinary is present in Korean milk. Does anybody have any good concrete info. on that? I think the milk is pretty tasty in K-land. |

| samd- thanks for the helpful information. Are you this helpful in your classes? I'm sure you are. It's people as helpful as you who are giving English Teachers such wonderful reputations in Korea. |

| Asking if there are all natural cigarettes in Korea doesn't seem like that weird or stupid of a question. Out of curiosity, where are you from? |

What "racist anti-Korean agenda?"
I have no racist anti-Korean agenda.
Dude, where the hell out in left field did THAT comment come from? You've really got to learn to control your knee-jerk reactions.
It's baby powder I was thinking of -- I mistyped.
Now please stop your knee-jerk idiocy. |
