Think
there's nothing in cigarettes besides tobacco? Think
again. "All
Natural" doesn't by any means mean "All Tobacco". The
Federal Trade Commission tested the smoke that comes from burning
cigarettes and they found more
than 5,000 chemicals
in cigarette smoke. More
than 40 of those cigarette
ingredients are known to be human
carcinogens - that
means they cause cancer
- not just in animals, but in humans too.
Below is a
list of more than
600
of the ingredients found in cigarettes. Check it out so you can see
what you and your friends are inhaling when you choose to smoke a
cigarette. For more information on some of these ingredients, visit
QuitSmokingUK.com's 'Cigarette Ingredients - What's in them?' article.
Also, check out
Action
on Smoking and Health's Tobacco Additives report, which not only gives
detailed information about cigarette additives, but the history of how
these additives have been used to enhance the taste and addictiveness of
cigarettes.
Trying to
convince someone to quit? Show them this list, or better yet, print
it out and give it to
them - maybe once they see all of the junk that they're putting into their
bodies each time they smoke a cigarette, they'll reconsider.
