A cigarette is a small cylindrical roll of finely cut tobacco leaves wrapped in paper. It is designed for smoking, where the tobacco is ignited at one end, allowing the smoker to inhale the smoke produced. Cigarettes often contain additives to enhance flavor and burning properties. Cigarettes are commonly associated with health risks, including lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory issues. Many countries have implemented regulations to control their sale and advertising due to these health concerns. Additionally, smoking cessation programs aim to help individuals quit smoking and reduce the prevalence of tobacco-related illnesses.
