The cigarette industry plays a huge part in World’s economics. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, companies that produce cigarette spent over 9 billion dollars on advertising their products in the United States which is about 1 million dollars per hour. As the world population grows each day, there are more smokers who contribute to the cigarette industry to work in full steam. Today the world has 6.7 billion people and tobacco industries are manufacturing more than 5.9 trillion cigarettes altogether. If you divide the number of cigarettes manufactured per year, you will be stunned by the results. This insane number means the cigarette industries are producing insanely 1,000 cigarettes for every human being on Earth, including children per year. According to the latest reports, Marlboro is still the best cigarette brand on the market. This company is valued for insanely $67.52 billion.
With that much manufacturing, the cigarette industry managed to make a new and ‘healthier’ low tar and nicotine cigarettes. It is not that these light cigarettes are healthy or won’t affect your health, but it will significantly lower the risk of some serious illness like lung cancer. Some smokers claim that with switching from strong to light cigarettes they felt eased breathing and less throat scratching. According to Live Science, there are also some good benefits from smoking.

Many people suffer from it because cigarette smoking is the first risk factor for lung cancer. Only 13 percent of people with lung cancer stay alive more than five years.
