They had cigarettes like that a few years ago but stopped making them. There are many different methods to stop but it seems since you are asking about them you may wish to stop...or maybe not.

Not for me to say and while this branches off from your question there is a meditation on smoking from osho that you may find interesting. it's kinda long but you seem so cool and intelligent I think it will suit you. Read on lola lady!

"You have to understand. Smoking is not only a question of your decision now. It has entered into your world of habits; it has taken roots in your body, in your chemistry; it has spread all over. "It is not just a question of your head deciding; your head is impotent; it can start things, but it cannot stop them so easily. It has become autonomous; you will have to de-automatize it. And that's what meditation is all about, de-automatization. "You do one thing: forget about stopping smoking. Rather, you are going to make it a meditation. When you are taking the packet of cigarettes out of your pocket, move slowly. Enjoy it, there is no hurry. Be conscious, alert, aware; take it out slowly, with full awareness. "Then take the cigarette out of the packet with full awareness, slowly—not in the old hurried way, unconscious way, mechanical way. Then start tapping the cigarette on your packet—but very alertly. Listen to the sound, just as Zen people do when the samovar starts singing and the tea starts boiling...and the aroma. Then smell the cigarette and the beauty of it... "Then put it in your mouth, with full awareness, light it with full awareness. Enjoy every act, every small act, and divide it into as many small acts as possible, so you can become more and more aware. "Then have the first puff: God in the form of smoke. Hindus say, 'Annam Brahm'—'Food is God'. Why not smoke? All is God. Fill your lungs deeply—this is a pranayam. I am giving you the yoga for the new age! Then release the smoke, relax, another puff—and go very slowly. "If you can do it, you will be surprised; soon you will see the whole stupidity of it. Not because others have said that it is stupid, not because others have said that it is bad. You will see it. And the seeing will not just be intellectual. It will be from your total being; it will be a vision of your totality. And then one day it drops." osho

Lola, There is no harmless or chemical free cigarettes.
Truth is, it is the chemical nicotine in them that you are addicted to, and all have it.

Now, for less harmful, you could consider brands with charcoal filters, this cigarettes contain filters with integrated "activated charcoal" particles.

These activated charcoal particles acts as "adsorbers" for a wide variety of harmful chemicals, including nicotine, that can be found in cigarette smoke; so when the smoke passes through them, some of the bad stuff is retained.

It is important to note that these brands are not marketed as less harmful, nor a claim like this is intended in any ways. For the manufacturer these cigarettes are suppose to have "smoother" flavor, that is all

I have never smoked, and I personally think that it is a very bad idea, and that every smoker should try to quit. If that is what you are eventually trying to do, may be you could tone down your nicotine intake with these, until you do not need it anymore..... although I think is not that easy, and it may not work that way.....

But, like I've said, I have never smoked, so what do I know about quitting smoking, and besides, that was not your question.

Mind puzzeling question. I sold, as a sales rep, detergents for the worlds #1 producer and did some research on the brands I sold and competed with. None of my brands satisfied your quest. Fels Naptha come close, a Dial brand, but is not completely chemical free. If he can tolerate perfumes and scents, Ivory Snow or Dreft might do the trick. Using vinegar is about your only other option.

There is a chemical free brand of ciggies, they are called "Native Spirit". I dont know where, on-line, you might be able to find them, but I bet if you look at any reservation mercantile on the web, you'd find them.
Hope this helps.

Everyone's definitely right on this one. Smoking is just simply bad for you - no brand is going to make it healthier. My boyfriend smoked for 11 years and finally just quit 3 weeks ago. It's already made a -huge- difference in his health.

They are all bad hun. Anything inhaled into the lungs that is not supposed to be there (not including asthma meds) is bad for you.

nicotine is out of your system after 3 days of not smoking. after that, the cravings you have is a mental game you play with yourself. It is an additction.

I hope you are able to conqure your quest :)



(edited to add: i love how you gave me a thumbs down. not my fault the truth hurts. you are killing yourself by trying to justify something 'healthy' when you are creating your own death. Silly little fairy)

Good luck trying to find such a thing as "harmless" cigarettes.

Yes, but they are no longer on the market. They tasted terrible and nobody would smoke them.
