Nicotine is only one of the many harmful ingredients
found in cigarettes.
There are over 4,000 other harmful chemicals that can be found in
tobacco smoke.
Among those are:
- carbon monoxide (the dangerous gas that comes
out of our cars)
- formaldehyde (used to preserve dead bodies)
- ammonia (kitchen and bathroom cleaner)
- carbon dioxide (which contributes to global warming)
Many harmful metals are also found in cigarettes.
- aluminum
- copper
- lead
- mercury
- zin
People who smoke breathe all of these deadly chemicals
into their lungs. Those who market cigarettes are literally marketing
poisons.
