Talk:Cigarette

Construction

Tobacco blend,

This section appears to refer entirely to U.S. made cigarettes. E.g. Canadian cigarettes are almost exclusively Brightleaf Virginia and differ in additives and emissions. Cigarettes in other countries are also markedly different in constituents from North American cigarettes, e.g. French Gauloises & Gitanes. The subsection should either make clear that it refers only to U.S. cigarettes, or be expanded to include other, representative countries. - D Anthony Patriarche (talk)

Section about smoking cessation

The section about smoking cessation mentions nicotine replacement therapy, and Varenicline, but does not mention Bupropion, another drug commonly prescribed to aid smoking cessation. The article is locked, so there is no way for me to add this information. Does the fact that Buproprion is a generic drug, while Varenicline's patent is still valid, have anything to do with this article being locked?

Wikipedia is no longer an unbiased, (or accurate), source in the least, which is sad.

What do you mean, ‘no longer’? 2A01:4C8:1163:7CDB:E40C:3BEC:96E0:A239 (talk) 13:00, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

edit request per MOS:REALTIME

article says

Australia is cutting their overall smoking consumption faster than most of the developed world, in part due to landmark Plain Packaging Act, which standardized the appearance of cigarette packs. Other countries have considered similar measures. In New Zealand, a bill has been presented to parliament in which the government's associate health minister said "takes away the last means of promoting tobacco as a desirable product."[132]

Per MOS:REALTIME we should update / rephrase this.

Graphic Warnings

Germany also has pictures in addition to text on their cigarette packs. An interesting note may also be that the German government has been sued at least twice for using images of corpses either without permission or of non smokers to portray smoking deaths.

Cigarette butt

This term is largely restricted to North America. The equivalent in British English is 'cigarette end' or 'dog end'. I'm unsure of usage in other Anglophone countries. --Ef80 (talk) 10:42, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

when did this article turn into a non smoking ad?

the entire opening section after the first paragraph basically reads like one big nonsmoking ad, listing nothing but the negative effects of cigarettes and how "bad" they are for your health..

shouldnt an article open up with a general blurb or two about the main topic (the opening text above the two images seems sufficient) and then have all the specific health related risks/concerns that are listed below the images in their own subsection?

especially since there is already a subsection titled: "health effects" that contains such a ridiculously detailed breakdown of all the negative aspects of smoking, it basically makes the information after that first opening paragraph redundant.

it just doesnt seem as though it reads like a "normal" article with all that negativity being listed in the opening and then listed again in its own subsection.

i know it really doesnt matter what i think, and if i remove it somebody will just revert it.. so thats why i came here first to point out how "extra" it all seems, in hopes of someone taking another look at it and either dealing with it or getting back to me, probably with an elaborate yet somehow valid explanation as to why it "needs" to be that way.
