In my head less and less.
I work at a tobacco shop. we sell these things called "tar blocks". they are clear mouthpieces that go on the end of your cigarette. I have been using them for almost a month now. after around 5 cigarettes using one, although of tar builds up and you.can see it.

I think I feel better but there is no way to know for sure if its helping. maybe its just showing a small amount of the tar it.blocks? I smoke a little bit more because it also takes some of the nicoteen out.

even if they are a sham, I like them because the mouthpeice is nice and the cigarette actually tastes a LOT better without all the tar.

I mostly was just posting to get feedback or experiences with these. at the very least I would like someone to find this post and try these things. if they are working like I think, its a gift from God. (of ur understanding )

hehe pce
 
I'm not having any idea where to send this at this time so for the time being I'm going to live here waiting for an idea or a suggestion as to where this might go.
 
Tar bars (as I've heard 'em called :P) are awesome. I smoked for a few years and would use 'em occasionally--I always liked how they made the cigarette taste cleaner and lighter, but I hated how gross they looked (since they're only catching a fraction of the garbage destined for your lungs, as far as I know).

According to their website, "Past scientific research performed in the United States indicates an average tar removal of 33% and nicotine removal of 9%. The NEW IMPROVED TarBar with 6 ports almost doubles the tar removal and makes the 'draw' even easier."

So, I guess I'm wrong about the miniscule amount they actually remove! Huh. You learn something new every day. :P
 
Hmm. The tar you breathe makes you breathe every time you took a hit from the cig more shallow which prevents other harmful substances as those carsinogens to ending up in the deeper structures of the lungs. Remember to not inhale at the increased depth that the removation of tar can cause so you dont end up having a lot worse situation than without the extra tar.

This is also why those using the lighter brands of cigarettes end up having lung cancer more frequently than those that smoke harder brands containing more tar and nicotine.
