  Light cigarettes equally as bad as regular ones

  If you're thinking of smoking 'light' cigarettes because they are less harmful to you, think again.

  Latest research shows that smoking them is as harmful as smoking a regular one, says the Health Promotion Board.

  Light cigarettes are usually sold in a softer, fairer exterior packaging, and long touted as a good alternative to regular cigarettes.

  Scientific evidence proves otherwise.

  These 'light' cigarettes send as much nicotine to the brain as the regular cigarettes.

  So, smokers can be as easily addicted to them as conventional ones.

  It's also proven that it doesn't take a very long time for nicotine to set in.

  Another misconception is that smoking a 'light' cigarette may help the smoker quit the habit.

  The Health Promotion Board advises smokers thinking of quitting the habit to call Quitline or log on to www.hpb.gov.sg/quit4lilfe for more information. --938Live
