There is no such thing as a safe cigarette. No matter what they taste, smell, or look like, all cigarettes are harmful to your health. That's why the Substance Abuse Prevenion Center is launching a new website that exposes the myths on Light, Low, and Mild Cigarettes. The site features a 30 second audio PSA, Put Out the Myth: There Is No Such Thing as a Safe Cigarette, a sharable button with links to regulatory, health, and smoking cessation information, webpage content syndication information, and a basic consumer fact sheet.
