The risk of lung cancer death is no different between medium, low, and very low-tar cigarettes.

People who smoke low-tar cigarettes compensate the lack of tar by changing their breathing habits, for example, they will take deeper drags or hold the smoke in for a longer period of time, basically negating the supposed " low-tar" effect.
