There can be nice cigarettes just like there are nice cigars and nice pipe tobaccos. Sobranie, for example, makes very expensive and high quality cigarettes from good tobacco. They smell like tobacco, not gas-station attendant. There is a big difference between nice cigarettes (including those you roll yourself from pure tobacco) and the chemically processed big brands that are likely half-sawdust.

However, those distinction only really matter in terms of taste and smell, they'll all kill you, hence me quitting. Day three and I feel great.
