Smoking light or ultra-light cigarettes in hopes of reducing your risk of lung cancer actually does nothing for your health. A new study conducted by the University of Minnesota Cancer Center found that ultra-light and light cigarettes are just as unhealthy as regular smokes.

NO - smoking is bad and it is addictive no matter what cigarette you smoke.
I recently quit smoking for the third time in my life and I smoked natural (meaning no additives like ammonia to burn etc.) and the ultra light brand.
Before that, I used to smoke strong cigarettes like Camel and Malboro when I quite the first time.
The point is stopping was equally hard and the effects of smoking these cigarettes were exactly the same.
Light or Strong nicotine will still enter your body and affect your lungs, heart and brain.

The light refers to the chemical compounds added to the tobacco, not the color of it. There are no lights and darks, just lights and regulars. Do you really smoke them, sounds like you are a curious want to be smoker or a beginner at it.

Nope smoking is smoking and they all carry the same consequences.I smoke camel lights and it's no different then smoking my husbands Marlboro.If you don't smoke don't start,it's a very hard habit to break.

Well there is no proper answer for that as both are too injusrious for u but if u r habitual and really need an ans i would say the light ones are better with containing less nicotine and tar compared to the heavy one! still it is nearly harmful as the other one!

Both are equally lethal and will kill you in the long run. If you want to know more about this go to google and type lung carcinoma.

there is less nicotine and tar (very good part) which is healthier, but not smoking is the better option

Technically yes, but all ciggarrettes are bad for you.
