You forgot the tar and nicotine!!! Those are the best parts...

Everybody knows that every third smoker dies of smoking, there's no need to mention it in the package that the smokes come in.

Why should they? Nobody cared enough to put them on in the first place and most people smoke without even knowing what they're smoking. And while the number of things in a cig is large, the percentage would be too small for anything to be considered nutritional in the first place. Also things change when they burn, that site you gave us said a cig can produce 4000 chemicals, 40 are banned in chemical weapons. So if the average smoker knew that, the cig company would lose lots of money wouldn't they?

[Vowl]

I thought that cigarettes were good for asthma.

[Molotov]

what types of cigarettes yall smoke,newport shorts in a box here :D

[Livecorpse]

Dangerous chemicals? Cancer? What about all those ads with healthy young, attractive, popular people? Obviously you are mistaken.

[GUTHRIE]

the cigs are bad!

[macdeth]

Tell you what they should do...

...stop fucking selling them.

[T-H]

GOOD FOR ASHMA

Who the fuck have you been talking to?????????????

"Camel Lights" but now they have to call them "Camel Blue", because "Lights" could mean that they are better then cigarettes that arent light but in fact they are worse.

[shotheman]

HAHAHAHHAAH!!! FDA!! Oh yeah.

Anyway, it would be pretty cool if they had nutritional information. It'd be an interesting read.

I thought cigaretes would take like acrid horrible smoke. I was disapointed when I tried one and it tasted like someone was trying to rub a chimney brush up and down my throat.

[T0MMY]

It probably doesn't have a nutrition label because there'd be no way they could fit all the ingredients on a pack.
Easiest solution, list the diseases and ailments smoking causes instead.

Ingredients: cancer, emphysema, heart disease, asthma, etc

Mmm, tasty.

I smoke Camel Filters. People who smoke Lights are deluding themselves. I have managed to cut down to a pack and a half a day. Right around the ages 20-24 I was smoking two a day, at least.

It just occured to me that I've been smoking almost as long as some of you have lived. I have, however set a date to quit. In two and a half years.

If you don't smoke, don't start! It's a filthy habit.

[Murdocc]

I’m so tired of people trying to put stuff like this on cigarettes. Everyone knows that cigarettes are bad for you, we get, there’s no need to put any more labels on it. If a person chooses to smoke, let them. People are responsible for their own actions, and we should all stop vilifying the cigarette companies. (Damn, South Park sways my personal opinion again)

[eastbayxhardcore]

IIRC, it's the only product not required to have the Nutritional Facts box. Tell me someone isn't being paid off here.

I smoke occasionally, and I'm not addicted. It's been several days since I last had a fag, but I smoke 'em because I'm such a smoking n00bie that they still feel good.

That's because the listing would take too much space. Google is too difficult for you guys, apparantly:
