The smoke of English cigarettes (flue-cured tobacco) greatly shortens the life of rats and damages the respiratory system, whereas that of the cigar (air-cured tobacco) is relatively harmless. This bears out two of the principal features in the 1971 Report of the Royal College of Physicians, which draws attention to the large number of premature deaths in cigarette smokers and the comparative safety of smoking cigars.
英式香烟(烤烟)的烟雾会大幅缩短大鼠寿命并损害呼吸系统,而雪茄(晾烟)的烟雾相对无害。这证实了皇家内科医师学院1971年报告中的两个主要观点,该报告提请人们注意吸烟者中大量过早死亡的情况以及吸雪茄的相对安全性。
