ABSTRACT:
Selectively tobacco shortened cigarettes are disclosed, which have a multiplicity of components including a shortened butt and an inner tube for reinforcing a casing of the selectively tobacco shortened cigarette. Selectively tobacco shortened cigarettes have an extinguishing gap region to limit burning of the selectively tobacco shortened cigarette. Selectively tobacco shortened cigarettes are either filtered or unfiltered. Selectively tobacco shortened filtered cigarettes include a filter covering, which is contiguous with a casing. Selectively tobacco shortened unfiltered cigarettes have a perforated intake cover to prevent tobacco from spilling into other interior portions of the selectively tobacco shortened unfiltered cigarette. Selectively tobacco shortened filtered cigarettes with vents having a multiplicity of holes are suitable for lessening the desire to smoke. An improved method for lessening the desire to smoke is achieved by using selectively tobacco shortened filtered cigarettes with vents having a multiplicity of holes where shortened butts are decreased in length, which results in a smoker still feeling as though a cigarette is being smoked, even though the amount of smoked tobacco in the cigarette is actually decreased. This method helps a smoker quit smoking.
