Just my opinion here but I get the impression people who smoke low-tar/nicotine versions and consequently smoke much more are doing more, not less harm, to themselves than would be happening if they smoked full tar/nicotine versions.

If your cigarette is low-nicotine, and you're craving nicotine, you're probably needing to smoke more than the 1 ciggy to get your fix. As opposed to a stronger version and getting it with fewer puffs resulting in less smoke being inhaled into your lungs and damaging things there.

Less tar and nicotine means more puffs and more smoke going into your lungs.

More tar and nicotine means fewer puffs and less smoke.

It's more likely to be the smoke itself independent of how much tar or nicotine is in it that damages our lungs in the same way firefighters before SCBA systems were invented. Smoke is smoke, and in the lungs it's damaging. So less smoke is better than more smoke.
