Cigarettes prepared with strong tobacco and other ingredients, sometimes spices, to make them taste and smell sweet. May be more damaging than regular cigarettes, which are also very harmful.

The bronchi are irritated by tobacco smoke. The cilia, small sweeping hairlike projections, are destroyed and then that builds up, which causes chronic coughing and mucous secretions.

The destruction of the tiny air sacs in the lungs called alveoli. The lungs lose their elasticity and need more oxygen to function. Most people with Emphysema will eventually carry an oxygen tank with them to breathe.
