Does anyone know why clove cigarettes are supposed to be worse for you than regular ones? I’ve heard that they’re banned in Utah–can anyone confirm/deny/explain that? ---

They’re banned here in New Mexico as well. I would like to know if they really are more dangerous as well. IMHO, I would think that they aren’t. ---

Or you can just search the archives and see what the master has to say… [http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a4\_106.html](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a4_106.html) I was unaware, however, that any states banned them. * * * Yer pal, Satan - Commissioner, [The Teeming Minions](http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/full/show?lid=39428&page=leaguehome) _TIME ELAPSED SINCE I QUIT SMOKING: Six months, two days, 22 hours, 57 minutes and 48 seconds. 7438 cigarettes not smoked, saving $929.78.

Well, I guess banned is incorrect. It is illegal to sell clove _cigarettes_ here (NM). Cigarillos are perfectly legal to sell. You won’t get into any trouble for having them. Thanks for the advice on checking the archives, Satan (I can’t believe I’m thanking the adversary).
