Are Marlboro Ultra Lites, Better or Worse?
Nope. Studies have shown there is NO BENEFIT to smoking ultra-lite cigarettes. You will take in the same amount of toxins, nicotine, and other poisons as with regular cigarettes, and your risk for cancer and other illnesses will also remain the same. In fact, some research has supported the theory that they’re actually WORSE because people tend to smoke more of them (believing they are “healthier) and because you also tend to inhale more sharply with a thicker filter, pulling more smoke into your lungs. In short — it’s just as bad for your body to smoke ultra-lites as it is to smoke regular cigarettes! Avoid them all! Here’s a good article that summarizes some of the research on these “ultra-lite” ciggies: http://www1.umn.
