Greetings from the Commander. It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to Squadron Officer College (SOC). Located at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, SOC is the Air Force's center for company grade officer professional development.
Clove Cigarette. A cigarette made of tobacco leaves, cloves, and spices prepared from the dried flowers of a tropical tree, Eugenia aromatica; CCs are produced in Indonesia, where they are the preferred (smoked by 90% of smokers) smoking product; 30â40% is shredded clove buds, while the rest is tobacco.
Smoking clove cigarettes may pose an additional risk due to the active ingredient â eugenol, (a topical anesthetic commonly used in dentistry). The short- and long-term health effects of eugenol are not well known, and little inhalation toxicology research has been done on this substance.
