    Unfortunately, most cigarettes use castoreum, which is derived from the anal gland of beavers. American Spirits and another one don’t use it I think, but the rest do.

      I’d like to know how someone found this out and its “benefit” to a cigarette.

        You’re only breathing in Owen’s Corning Fiberglass Insulation™. There’s nothing wrong with inhaling Owen’s Corning Fiberglass Insulation™. I did a bit of research and apparently it’s actually Microplastics™.

      Instead of slowly killing the workers who make it, it slowly kills the end consumer … but in our capitalist system, it probably does both.

      I’m four years free of cigarettes but, yes, they still look nice. I don’t actually crave them, though. It’s more nostalgic for me at this point.
