LUNG CANDY

London's Sunday Times has revealed documents that show that many major cigarette manufacturers lace their smokes with an assortment of sweeteners and sugary flavorings in order, critics say, to make cigarettes more palatable to children. Among 14 sweeteners in a Marlboro cigarette are cocoa, liquorice root and sucrose syrup. Benson & Hedges includes caramel and sorbitol (among others) and Camel Lights contain 13 sweeteners including maple syrup and honey.
