Traditional Cigarettes and Their Modern-Day Counterparts

Cigarettes and tobacco products were at their peak popularity when our fathers and grandfathers were growing up. By the time we millennials were old enough to buy a pack, cigarettes lost their charm. Not that they are not famous anymore, not that they are not popular today, but it cannot be compared to what cigarettes used to be before.

People who love cigars and cigarettes are still smoking tobacco products. For newer generations, there are many similar products that have found their way to getting the mainstream attention of the customers. You can find shisha's, hookahs, cinnabars, CBD cigarettes, vapes, and e-cigarettes.

Vapes and e-cigarettes are getting the mainstream attention of the users as much as once tobacco cigarettes used to get. Here we will compare traditional cigarettes and tobacco products with the new day counterparts one by one.

Cigarettes and Cigars

The trend of cigarettes was at the peak when my father was my age. At that time, smoking cigarettes was considered cool and was something of a trend. In that era, how cigarettes were advertised was that they are some type of confidence boosters and would do something that modern-day energy drinks claim they do to us.

Also, in the advertisements, these products show women who use these products as more independent and confident. So, there is no wonder why these products were so much in demand back then. However, later on, people were educated on how smoking these products can damage your lungs.

Cigars were called even more dangerous than cigarettes for all the right reasons. Today, there are age restrictions on buying these products and a ban on their advertisement on television. The market has shrunk from its original size, but there are still people who love cigarettes.

New brands are entering the market today. I am closely associated with the packaging industry, and even today, there are a lot of orders for custom cigarette boxes wholesale (https://impressionville.com/custom-cigarette-boxes/).

Shisha's and Hookahs

Shisha's and Hookahs are famous smokable products that you can easily find in Turkish and middle eastern restaurants and cafés. Also, many people have bought these products to use at homes as well. They also have tobacco in them, so they are not safe for the lungs as well.

Besides, these products require a lot of setup time, and you have to be at a particular place for a smoking session. These products were present in the same timeline when cigarettes were at the apex. These products started getting mainstream attention not long ago.

Vapes and e-Cigarettes

In terms of success and popularity, vapes and e-cigarettes are the closest to what cigarettes used to be in the past. They have revolutionized the very concept of smoking and have replaced it with vaping. Unlike hookahs, shisha's, cigarettes, and cigars, these products do not involve the use of tobacco. Instead, they use the vaping liquid.

The misconception about vapes and e-cigarettes that helped them get a breakthrough was that they are not damaging for the lungs. Even if you are vaping a type that does not have nicotine in it, it can still cause a lot of problems.

That’s why recently, the advertising of these products is getting a lot of backlashes. One thing is clear that any product you vape or smoke will have some effects on the lungs.

Cannabis and CBD Products

Cannabis and CBD products are not much different as they are made from the same plant. However, the differences are clear in how these products affect because of the difference in the content of THC (the high-giving chemical in weed).

Cinnabars and cannabis cigarettes are legal in only a few states of the USA. They are the same as the usual cannabis joints. On the other hand, CBD cigarettes and joints seem to have a brighter future because of the medicinal qualities of this chemical.
