公共卫生服务部关于吸烟对健康影响的第 14 份精心编写的报告的要点是，不存在所谓安全（甚至更安全）的香烟，尽管广告上有相反的说法。从本质上讲，造成多种健康问题的并不是香烟中的成分（烟雾中含有 2,200 多种已知化合物），而是任何形式的吸烟都会造成巨大危害。用英国健康教育委员会最近的一则广告的话来说，从“高焦油”品牌转向“低焦油”品牌“就像从 36 楼而不是 39 楼跳下来”。报告中的一个关键术语是“补偿性吸烟”，即，如果吸烟者通过增加香烟数量、吸入深度、或抽吸量或频率来补偿焦油产量的减少，那么焦油量就会减少

In essence, it is not so much what is in a cigarette that causes the multifarious health problems—and there are more than 2,200 known compounds in the smoke—but the fact that cigarette smoking in any form can cause great harm. Switching from a "high-tar" to a "low-tar" brand is, in the words of a recent advertisement of Great Britain's Health Education Council, "like jumping from the 36th floor instead of the 39th." A key term is what the report calls "compensatory smoking," ie, if a smoker compensates for reduced tar yield by increasing the number of cigarettes, the depth of inhalation, or the volume or frequency of puffs, a reduction in tar
