text: are lights any better than full flavor cigs? i know both are un healthy but should i switch, or does it really make no difference? i recently saw a news report saying that they did a study on whether lights were more healthy than full flavour cigarettes and the result was they were the same.  it is merely a marketing scheme to make you buy more because you 'think' it is healthier.  it is just like having the choice of getting beaten with a baseball bat or a hockey stick.  both are not good for you.
