7. Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide is car exhaust and it is the major source of smog in big cities. You are taking in a huge lungsful of smog every time you take a drag. You can’t taste it, and you can’t smell it, but your body certainly knows you are inhaling it. People die every year from carbon monoxide poisoning.
8. Misc. Others
Other chemicals found in cigs are rat poison (arsenic), hydrogen cyanide, which was used in Hitler’s gas chambers, DDT, a banned insecticide, lighter fluid (butane), car battery acid (sulphuric acid) and many more.
