To attract new young smokers, the industry markets cigarettes with different flavours (e.g. mint, strawberry, orange) to hide the bad taste of tobacco.

The industry also offers “light” and “mild” cigarettes.
But be careful! A brand of light cigarettes can contain a higher level of nicotine or tar than another brand of regular cigarettes!
