Whats the differnece between lights and full flavor cigs?
so i smoke camel full flavors but the taste is much better on the lights, do i get less tobacco with lights? whats the difference between lights and full flavors. it feels like i get less of a buzz out of lights, but maybe not. is that from less nicotine or tobacco?

Unless the full flavor camels you smoke are the filterless kind, then there's the same amount of tobacco in either cig. The "light" refers to the amount of tar inhaled - a light cigarette has holes in the filter, so less of the smoke goes in, and therefore there's less tar inhaled. You're supposed to get a "light" effect this way. However, the little holes are usually right about where your lips go, so there really isn't much air going through, and also many people who smoke lights puff harder than we who smoke full flavors, to compensate for the "light" effect. The slighter buzz you're getting is regular for light cigs.
The lightness was determined by a smoking robot that I believe PM tested with - but a robot only somkes one way and an entire population of smokers smoke in many different ways, so these tests weren't very accurate.
I believe the amount of nicotine to be about the same in lights and full flavors...I really think it only refers to the tar inhalation (the holes in the filter) to determine lights and ultra lights from full flavors.
I tried looking this up, but the first things that came up were anti-smoking things....this article has some stuff about the smoking robot though (it's not cool like it sounds though LoL)

Anyway, it's the design of the cigarette (Oh, I guess I found that there are lower-nicotine cigarettes marketed...hmm.) but it's not the amount of tobacco that's making a difference.
Quit while you can! Nah, I smoke too, I can't be a hypocrite. (^_^)
