This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

They intentionally add more poisonous shit to them.

What and why

[–] isekaihero@ani.social 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

tar, formaldehyde, and benzene are all added to cigarettes. Tar is a binder, the formaldehyde is a preservative, and benzene is an accelerant. The problem is that all of these things are toxic and/or cancerous.

Smoking loose leaf tobacco is the healthiest way to do it if that's what you want to do. The little foam filters in cigarettes do nothing and the additives added to processed tobacco make it much more unhealthy.
