Do You Know What You Smoke When You Smoke Cigarette. by kbobo(m): 8:50pm On Jul 28, 2008
Hi,

Have you ever wondered what you smoke in every puff? Well my thought is as good as

yours Tobacco. But this is far from the truth.

Whether you believe it or not, there are over 4,000 chemical compounds present in

cigarette smoke and many of them are confirmed CARCINOGENS.

Some of the toxins you inhale in every puff are listed below.

1.Acetone;basically a chemical used in fingernail polish.

2.Ammonia:Stuff used by janitors to clean bathrooms and toilets to kill off bacteria odour.

3.Butane: Major part of lighter fluid.

4.Cadmium: Active component of battery acid.

5.Ethanol: More commonly known as alcohol.

6.Methanol: A component of rocket fuel.

7.Napthaline:Ingredients used in mothballs.

8.Arsenic: One of the main ingredients of rat/mouse poison.

9.Nicotine: The addictive substance in cigarette, a legal drug and is used as insecticide.

10.Stearic Acid; Compound found in candle wax.

11. Toluene: An industrial strength cleaning solvent.

Haba,and yet 4,000 plus of these injurious substances is what you inhale anytime you take

a puff. When your food nutrients no pass 100 effective substances. Take a look at the list

and imagine what you are doing to your body. You are just killing it.

I find it hard to believe that such a collection of these destructive chemicals can be

packaged and sold in your local store.

Abeg stop cigar oh.

Cheers.
Kolawole.
