A Cigarette

This tobacco is rolled or stuffed into a paper cylinder. The cylinder that is commonly used is 10m"m in diameter and less than 120m"m long. The cigarette is lit at one of its ends and allowed to burn for the sake of inhaling its smoke from what is usually its filtered side, which is placed between the lips. The term, cigarette, is primarily used to refer to a tobacco filled cigarette. All products made of tobacco have been proven to shorten peoples life spans.
The difference between a cigarette and a
cigar is that the cigarettes is smaller
in size, it is made of processed tobacco leafs, and
its wrapped in paper. On the other hand cigars are
generally composed
of whole tobacco leafs.
Cigarettes were brought into the
English speaking world during the
Crimean War, when British soldiers began
imitating the Turkish
soldiers, who used to roll their
tobacco with newspaper.
