    Unfortunately, most cigarettes use castoreum, which is derived from the anal gland of beavers. American Spirits and another one don’t use it I think, but the rest do.

      Instead of slowly killing the workers who make it, it slowly kills the end consumer … but in our capitalist system, it probably does both.
