12.6.8 Perceptions of additives among the community
Most Australian understand that use of tobacco products is dangerous and causes disease such as cancer. But many do not have an accurate understanding of how these diseases are caused and the relative risks of damage from additives, nicotine, unburned and burned tobacco. 69
An Australian study in 2006 70 reported that respondents in focus groups were surprised to learn what the tobacco industry actually adds to cigarettes and why. Some respondents were sceptical that additives are ‘ordinary’ substances, such as chocolate and sugar, rather than frightening ones, such as ‘jet fuel.’ Some smokers seek out so-called ‘natural’ or ‘chemical free’ cigarettes; many roll-your-own smokers believe that roll-your-own tobacco is more ‘natural’ than factory-made cigarettes and does not contain additives, and is therefore less harmful. 71 , 72 However, roll-your-own tobacco contains similar additives as ready-made cigarettes and exposes users to the same toxins/carcinogens as ready-made cigarette smokers. 73 , 74
An Australian study from 2021 found that some people understood that the burning process produced most of the harmful chemicals from smoking (consistent with the evidence), most smokers or recent quitters believed that products with more additives would be more harmful (inconsistent with the evidence). 75 In a similar study, most Australians were unable to predict the relative risks of damage from burning tobacco (highest risk), unburned tobacco, additives and nicotine (lowest risk). 69
