Edited on Mon Feb-04-08 02:25 PM by Javaman
RECIPE FOR A CIGARETTE The Big List In the 4000 chemicals in cigarette tobacco, there are 43 known carcinogens. Some will be detailed as to what they are used for in the box below this huge listing of ingredients & additives for cigarettes. The lungs of smokers, puffing a daily ration of 20 to 60 low to high tar cigarettes, collect an annual deposit of one-quarter to one and one-half pounds of the gooey black material, amounting to a total of 15 to 90 million pounds of carcinogen-packed tar for the aggregate of current American smokers.

Here are the some of the toxic ingredients in cigarettes.

Keep in mind that the product saccharine has been a controversy for years and regulated by the government... Why are cigarettes with these deadly ingredients still not regulated or banned in spite of over 450,000 deaths from smoking per year in this country alone? And how many people has saccharine killed?

Ammonia: Household cleaner
Angelica root extract: Known to cause cancer in animals
Arsenic: Used in rat poisons
Benzene: Used in making dyes, synthetic rubber
Butane: Gas; used in lighter fluid
Carbon monoxide: Poisonous gas
Cadmium: Used in batteries
Cyanide: Deadly poison
DDT: A banned insecticide
Ethyl Furoate: Causes liver damage in animals
Lead: Poisonous in high doses
Formaldehiyde: Used to preserve dead specimens
Methoprene: Insecticide
Megastigmatrienone: Chemical naturally found in grapefruit juice
Maltitol: Sweetener for diabetics Napthalene: Ingredient in mothballs
Methyl isocyanate: Its accidental release killed 2000 people in Bhopal, India in 1984 Polonium: Cancer-causing radioactive element

So where did you hear that cigarettes are harmless? Think about the above "toxic waste dump" next time you have an urge for a cigarette. Ahhhh! Won't your lungs feel goooood?!
