From my list of stupid questions: Why don't cigarette companies release a 'green/organic' line?

I assume so as well, but that's still the question they'd ask. Ten to one they have no idea what's even in them.
 
Winston and American Spirit advertise themselves as having "No Additives". They go on to say that it's just "Pure tobacco". Then say, of course, "This does not make it a "safe" cigarette." Duh! 🙂


Actually, I've always wondered how they haven't made a "safe" cigarette or one that smells lemon fresh, at least. If they didn't stink, I'd bet that most people wouldn't care about the harmful second hand smoke. You don't see people whining about car fumes. At least not the way they carry on about cigarette smoke.

is it healthier to just buy the tobacco in the store and roll your own?

I don't think there's any evidence to really support that. Or at least last time this topic came up no one had any.
 
Thats an interesting question actually, I don't know why. Maybe market research leads them to believe that brands like American Spirit fill that niche nicely, with no real room for growth?

car fumes aren't 'us' and 'them.'

If smokers don't care that they are poisoning their own bodies and poisoning others who happen to be around them [secondhand], then why in the hell would they care about the environment?

ETA: cigarette companies might only care if they could make more profit by charging lots more, same as organic products are overpriced.

Organically grown products are governed by the same supply and demand rules that non-organically grown products are.

Thus, they are not "overpriced", except in your opinion.
