A cigarette is a tobacco product that is typically rolled in a thin paper for smoking. It is one of the most common forms of tobacco consumption worldwide. It is made as the tobacco leaves undergo curing, fermenting, and blending processes to achieve the desired flavor and strength. Manufacturers also add various additives, such as sugars, humectants, and flavorings, to enhance the taste and overall smoking experience. Cigarettes also come in different types and varieties based on factors such as tobacco blend, size, and filter options. Light cigarettes have reduced levels of tar and nicotine, marketed as a milder option for those who wish to reduce their intake, whereas, regular cigarettes contain higher levels of tar and nicotine and are preferred by smokers who seek a stronger taste.
