i didn't see it in there, but i may be listed under a different name. fiberglass is added to the menthol cigs for the mint flavor. my friend had to smoke those at his girlfriends house cause they wouldn't allow him to smoke his usual cigs.

that list is a list of "approved additives" for the tobacco industry by the FDA. It merely means that a tobacco company can add any one or combination of those to their tobacco.

Many people think that ALL of that list is in ALL cigarettes. That isn't the case.

I'm not defending it or opposing it now. Just pointing that out you know!

BTW, some cigar tobacco has "additives" too!

They are not regulated and the companies are not required to notify ANYONE of these additives.

Now I don't know to what extent premium cigars have additives. I remember reading of one though, I think it was a Jamaican brand. I can't recall for sure.

Remember, all flavored cigars have additives and you don't really know what they use for that!
