Question:

Are there additives in Top brand tobacco?

I was wondering if the Republic Tobacco company has any additives in it. If they do, are Top rolled cigarettes healthier than mainstream cigs like Camel or Marlboro?

Answer:

Read the manual. You might get one correct answer on here. The rest could get you killed, like the guy that recommends 15 PSI.
40 psi is the max. I usually run mine at 34/34 which leaves a little room for the tire expansion from road temperature, and leaves PLENTY of room from being maxed out. Different people have different preferences, and riding conditions, but as a rule of thumb, 32-34psi is what shops will generally inflate tires to at your regular tune ups.
Nitrogen expands just like air when heated. The benefits of using Nitrogen is to prevent pressure loss due to leakage. In all honesty your money would be better spent on buying a good tire pressure guage and checking the pressure every time you fill up with gas or at least once a month. j
Because most of the additives are use as flavor enhancers, it is difficult to get specific lists of the quantities and types of additives. Many corporations look at these as trade secrets. There are as many as 1400 additives currently being used with new ones being developed daily. Each country has it's own list of approved additives. There are brands with no additives, American Spirit comes to mind. I haven't seen a side by side comparison between Republic American Tobacco but my guess is that they would be comparable. If you really want to find a healthier tobacco, look for something organic, additive free., It'll still kill you.
