The following is from an article I found on the evil contents of cigarettes.
Toilet Bowl Cleaner?
Most people prefer to use ammonia for things such as cleaning windows and
toilet bowls. You may be surprised to learn that the tobacco industry has found
some additional uses for this household product. By adding ammonia to your
cigarettes, nicotine in its vapor form can be absorbed through your lungs more
quickly. This, in turn, means your brain can get a higher dose of nicotine with
each puff.
The complete list of chemicals added to your
cigarettes is too long to list here. Here are some examples that will surprise
you:
Fungicides and pesticides -- Cause many types of cancers and birth
defects.
Cadmium -- Linked to lung and prostate cancer.
Benzene -- Linked to leukemia.
Formaldehyde -- Linked to lung cancer.
Nickel -- Causes increased susceptibility to lung infections.
If you are angry that so many things have
been added to the cigarettes you enjoy so much, you should be. Many of these
chemicals were added to make you better able to tolerate toxic amounts of
cigarette smoke. They were added without regard to your health and with the
intent to keep you addicted. As the tobacco industry saying goes, "An
addicted customer is a customer for life, no matter how short that life
is."
Make sure that you have the
last laugh. Regardless of the countless chemicals in your cigarettes, quitting
is always your option.
