Can Someone tell me what the difference between American Cigarettes and European Cigarettes?

No difference they both kill.

No, they are not better.  While they often have lower tar and chemicals than traditional cigarettes, they also don't usually have filters.  I started smoking clove cigarettes many years ago in college, and then, since they were not easy to get (i.e. at a bar) I ended up switching to menthol.  Luckily I never got addicted, and quit smoking totally a long time ago, but it could have led to problems.  I would recommend chewing herbal gum instead!!  The article below has a lot of helpful information.

No, a hookah is much better than cigarettes hands down. While a cig has a cotton filter to try to trap tar and other carcinogens (cancer causing ingredients), it only filters out maybe 40% of these cancer causing agents. Now a hookah on the other hand, is basically a purifier of the smoke and air, by filtering the smoke through water. A stagering 90% of the carcinogens are filtered out by this process, and gives one an almost pure smoke, which definitely tastes better and is not so harmful to your health.

i would say the cigarettes i hate peeps that dont know about pot acting like they are experts on the subject  cigarettes are way higher in carcegins due to all the chemicals that are added to them like amonium chloride, and cyanide , lets not forget the gun powder the ciggy companies add to the paper so it stays lit cigarettes contain over 160 carcigens so the person who said the ciggies is wrong wrong wrong goto www.phillipmorris.com or www.norml.com and u can find information regarding these issues also marijuania has been shown to slow the progression of alziemers so put that in your pipes and smoke it

This big difference is only one face of a completely different fiscal and welfare system. Taxation is heavier in Europe because it serves also to pay many public services which are freely granted (such as high-quality health care and education). America can tax citizens less than Europe because they prefer to pay directly when accessing services ("why should I pay hospitals when I don't use them?").\nWhatever is our opinion on the two systems, they are too different for being comparable and it's not easy deciding which is better.

The site I found has the Davidoff products, but the lowest nicotine they had was 0.6 mg. (Davidoff Lights)\n\nThat site had a R1 Slim Line Minima that was 0.1mg, made in Europe.\n\nThe second site had: Davidoff Ultra Lights with 0.3mg

I don't smoke, but always did say I'd never forbid others to do so, and you're right, it's fascist, BUT my attitude changed because some other substances, much less harmful than nicotine, are also forbidden. So, now they only have to ban alcohol (well, for you Americans, it's AGAIN :)), meat (killing animals), expressing your opinion, and other liberties, and we'll have ourselves a nice little clean world where you play like a good sheep or get incinerated. Long live utopia, where all the people are happy ('cause if they're not happy, they're dead).

I am a New Yorker now living in Europe.  And since being here I have noticed the difference between american men and european men.  I see men with a bag. (not purses) They dress cleaner, neater.  Doesnt make them gay just means they have taste and like to dress well.  Nothing wrong with that.

Theoretically, if you were to smoke the same amount, the water in the narghilah filters out tar and nicotine better than a cotton filter in a cigarette.  However, Narghilah sessions typically last longer than a cigarette so the overall amount of tobacco consumed more than evens out the difference.

that is very relative. I know a person who's lived for over 90 years smoking 2 packs of "PielRoja" ("redskin", unfiltered cheap colombian ciggies) since age 24. and there's plenty of factors: if you don't have the precise protooncogene, you could never develop cancer even smoking 2 packs a day. \n\nthen again, people can live with an emphysema for long, stuck to an o2 tank all their lives. you could develop Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (I think this is the exact translation), live with an annoying bronchitis for decades. ruin your skin and teeth and get to age 80 looking like shit.\n\nwhat's the point? it's not a matter of quantity of life but quality of life.\n\nanyway, from an unorthodox point of view (having discussed this with a few teachers of mine), they'd say a ciggie a day is no big deal (but if you have the protooncogene I won't be responsible).

Americans actually comes from Europe because of the immigrants thing, so there are actually brothers. The different is that Americas rule the politic and economic world not the Europe

Helps out the weaker countries in the EU. As far as the effect on the US vs. Europe, that all depends on which is stronger. \n\nRight now, the Euro is stronger than the US dollar so that means that you get more bang for your Euro than your buck. Europeans can buy more stuff in the US than before so they travel to American and take advantage of this. When the tables turns, Americans can buy more stuff with their strong currency.\n\nHope this helps.

Cigarettes are the 3rd most adictive drug in the world and millions of people smoke, now take those numbers and realise that 'every; goverment taxes the hell out of each packet- in spain and eastern Europe you can buy a pack for about €2 but in Ireland each pack costs €6.50, thats nearly €5 tax on every pack with over a million Irish smoking about 1 pack a day so do the math, the Irish goverment makes €5 X 1 million X 365 tax and more every year...they'll never be banned

Cigarettes contain more than 4000 chemical compounds and at least 400 toxic substances.\n\nWhen you inhale, a cigarette burns at 700°C at the tip and around 60°C in the core. This heat breaks down the tobacco to produce various toxins.\n\nAs a cigarette burns, the residues are concentrated towards the butt.\n\nThe products that are most damaging are:\n\n    * tar, a carcinogen (substance that causes cancer)\n\n    * nicotine is addictive and increases cholesterol levels in your body\n\n    * carbon monoxide reduces oxygen in the body\n\n    * components of the gas and particulate phases cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD).\n\nThe damage caused by smoking is influenced by:\n\n    * the number of cigarettes smoked\n\n    * whether the cigarette has a filter\n\n    * how the tobacco has been prepared.

Well, not two many differences.\n\nSony is the most expensive of course and I think no American would like to buy a Japanese good, not at all!!!!!

I've seen great American movies and great European movies.  But I've definitely seen more bad American movies than European ones.  Maybe it's the accents or the fact that they have less inhibitions, but there's something great about European film.
