Cigarettes stink.

Your opinion.
My own personal opinion, there are some brands of tobacco that are strong smelling, there are some that smell just fine.
It's all in the eye of the beholder.
BTW, there IS a BIG difference in cigarettes made from nothing but tobacco and paper and store bought cigarettes.

And it was government intervention that brought that about....early 1960's....they forced the tobacco companies to use the less potent (smellier, cheaper) tobacco in ciggarettes. Better smelling stuff is now shipped overseas. No telling what latest round of intervention will bring about in future?
