Welcome To iKnow's School :)10:33 PM What Cigarettes Contain. - Thursday, April 21, 2011
There are over 4,000 different addictives in cigarettes and that is not counting the tobacco. A lot of these cigarette addictives can be found in other products such as food and while they were tested for other uses, these addictives in your cigarettes were never actually tested to see what would happen when they were burned. Cigarette Addictives Below is JUST A FEW of the addictives that are inhaled with each puff of a cigarette. -DDT - An insecticide that was eventually banned -Acetone - This is usually found in nail polish remover -Butane - You can find this in your lighter fluid -Cyanide - By now we should all know that cyanide is a very deadly poison -Ammonia - Used to clean your home and the smell is awful and overpowering to the senses -Benzene - This product can be found in synthetic rubber and also used to make dye products -Arsenic - Another deadly poison that is often used to kill rats -Formaldehyde - An embalming fluid and teens often use it to get high -Naphthalene - Mothball ingredient -Nicotine - Nicotine was a poison that was once and may still be used to kill roaches -A few other key ingredients include Carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, Looking at these ingredients, I don't know anyone who would willingly put these ingredients into their bodies daily or even hourly the way a smoker does with each cigarette that is smoked. One big issue is that most smokers are completely unaware of what each stick of cigarette contains.
