There are lots of myths about cigarettes: that 'lights' offer protection, for one, or that filters actually filter.

关于香烟，有许多没有事实依据的说法：比如香烟能提高身体的损害修复能力，比如过滤嘴真的有过滤作用，等等。

Yet another myth is that cigarettes are just tobacco rolled in paper. Nothing could be further from the truth. The cigarette is a surprisingly complex artifact, as we now know from the treasure trove of documents released in the course of litigation. The tobacco archives online at legacy.library.ucsf.edu contain some 80 million pages of formerly secret industry documents, almost all of which were unavailable before the Big Tobacco trials of recent years. Access to these archives has improved over time, and all are now full-text searchable, meaning that anyone with an Internet connection can pull up all documents containing expressions such as 'doubt is our product' or 'friends in Congress.'

不过，人们对香烟还有另一个不确切的观点，即它只是一张纸裹着一点烟草而已，而这与事实相去甚远。在法律诉讼的推动下，存放各种保密文件的宝库在向大众慢慢打开。现在，人们通过这些信息了解到，香烟这种人工制品的复杂性令人吃惊。烟草在线资料库legacy.library.ucsf.edu存有8000万页以往处于保密状态的行业文件，其中绝大多数信息在近些年针对烟草巨头的诉讼案之前都无法接触到。随着时间的推移，获取这些资料的方便程度有所改善，现在其文字资料可以搜索得到了；也就是说，任何一个可以上网的人都能看到含有“我们的产品遭到质疑或“国会的朋友们这类字眼的内部文件。
