A cigarette (French "small cigar", from cigar + -ette) is a small roll of finely-cut tobacco leaves wrapped in a cylinder of thin paper for smoking. The cigarette is ignited at one end and allowed to smoulder; its smoke is inhaled from the other end, which is held in or to the mouth. Most modern manufactured cigarettes are filtered and include reconstituted tobacco and other additives. Cigarettes are sometimes smoked with a cigarette holder.

The term cigarette, as commonly used, refers to a tobacco cigarette but can apply to similar devices containing other herbs, such as cannabis. A cigarette is distinguished from a cigar by its smaller size, use of processed leaf, and paper wrapping, which is normally white, though other colors are occasionally available. Cigars are typically composed entirely of whole-leaf tobacco.

Rates of cigarette smoking vary widely. While rates of smoking have leveled off or declined in the developed world, they continue to rise in developing nations. Nicotine, the primary psychoactive chemical in cigarettes, has been shown to be addictive. Statistically each cigarette smoked shortens the user's lifespan by 11 minutes. About half of cigarette smokers die of tobacco-related disease and lose on average 14 years of life. Cigarette use by pregnant women has also been shown to cause birth defects, including mental and physical disabilities. Secondhand smoke from cigarettes has been shown to be injurious to bystanders, which has led to legislation that has banned their smoking in many workplaces and public areas.

Cigarettes are the most frequent source of fires in private homes, which has prompted the European Union and the United States to ban cigarettes that are not fire standard compliant by 2011.

How many cigarettes smoked per day does it take for a person to be considered a smoker?
Q. How many cigarettes are smoked daily for people to be considered smokers? I heard people claim smoking one cigarette a day does not make them smokers. Also in research journals, how many cigarettes a day are they talking about when referring to smokers? Thank you.

A. Let's put it this way: Either you're alive or you're not. Either you're pregnant or you're not. Either you smoke or you don't. If a person smokes every day, they are considered a smoker, regardless of how many cigarettes they smoke per day.

How much does smoking a couple of cigarettes a week actually harm me?
Q. I've never been a regular smoker in my life but I enjoy smoking a couple of cigarettes when I go out for a drink. I may also smoke a cigarette if I'm really depressed or stressed.

How much does that habbit actually harm my health?

A. Everyone if different. George Burns was a very heavy smoker (actor who died at age 100) Others die young of lung cancer ---some who have never smoked (due to their own smoking or second hand smoke.) Smoking is also a dirty habit. It makes you smell as well as your clothes. Let's not forget the cost- wow. It also annoys most around you. It will also be the cause of more expensive health ins. It makes you less efficient at work and that and the effects on your health can cause you not to get hired. Quite a few employers feel this way as health ins. is already outrageously expensive. If you're a guy try sucking on a pipe. Guys and gals go for gum. Amazingly chewing gum has a few health benefits. Even if it has sugar in it it… [cont.]
