Eclipse cigarettes?!
Eclipse cigarettes?
What are the pros and cons? where are they available? do the taste the same? does the smoke have a strong odor?
Answers:
They primarily heat tobacco, giving off a vapor, instead of burning it as traditional cigarettes do. The makers claim that this produces significantly less smoke than normal cigarettes and no ashes. The company also claims that this creates a better environment around the user. Because of this attribute, the cigarettes are marketed as "present[ing] less of a risk of certain smoking-related diseases".
pros: contains less tar and creates less second hand smoke, many of the harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke are produced by full combustion, so the heating will reduce the amount of these being released, reduced odor.
cons: produce more carbon monoxide than regular cigarettes, It's taste is definitely inferior to a regular cigarette
The Eclipse cigarette is being sold to a small number of customers in Texas, and over the internet.
