Selecting a cigarette
- Choose your favorite brand of cigarettes.Often a novice smoker chooses light or super light cigarettes.
This is recommended as the nicotine content is usually very low in these cigarettes. Once you realize that you really need to smoke cigarettes, try to enjoy smoking. The only way to find out which brand you like best is to try a variety. Experiment with this.Taste is somewhat subjective. Therefore, you may have to try mistakes before finding a brand of cigarette that you really like.

- If you do not like mint-flavored foods and drinks, you probably will not like menthol cigarettes. They have a very strong mint flavor.
- If you have smoked regular cigarettes in the past, you may not like menthol cigarettes. Many people who have acquired a taste for natural cigarettes do not like mint.
- Clove smoke.Clove is a common spice used in cooking and baking. Cloves can be flavored with tobacco to create a fragrant cigarette.

- Carnations can be very strong, so be careful when smoking. Since they can make you look frivolous, do not smoke cloves while driving.
- Try scented cigarettes. If you are looking for a particular flavor, there is a variety of flavored cigarettes on the market. Cigarettes come in many flavors like cherries, chocolate, orange, mango etc. The aroma is quite noticeable. Cigarettes taste similar to the aroma on the label. Fragrant cigarettes can be a good option if you do not like regular cigarettes, but you also do not like cloves and menthol.
