Does pipe tobacco contain less added toxins than cigararettes?

Answer 1

No, pipe tobacco contains the same amount of toxins as any regular cigarette. Like light cigarettes, the amount of toxins and harmful substances are exactly the same, contrary to what some tobacco companies may want you to believe. Tobacco is a plant. It is used in pipe tobacco, chewing tobacco, cigarettes, and cigars. Also, all of these have tar in it. The only difference is that one is chewed and one is smoked. Both have the same harmful contents that cause the same harmful effects (which can lead up to cancer, respiratory problems, and even death). There is no difference between pipe tobacco and regular cigarettes because cigarettes HAVE tobacco in them.

the toxins in cigarette can be divided to 2 groups, one is the natural component that are in the tobacco plant, that al-thaw mostly are harmless, when burned do become toxic. one of those is Tar.

the other group are chemicals added by the tobacco industry to cigarets for various reasons. main ones are to allow better burn of the cigarette and prevent it from extinguishing. and another group are chemicals added to enhance the absorption of some of the addictive toxins like nicotine for the sole purpose of hooking the consumer.

Pipe tobacco have none of the burning enhancing chemicals, and as result is much more difficult to smoke and keep alight, and there are no chemicals for the addictive propose because pipe smokers generally do no inhale the smoke and there for generally avoid the nicotine kick and the addiction.

so for the most part pipe tobacco is in the natural form and somewhat safer, thaw not intended for deep inhaling
