Out of the 2,000+ Chemicals in cigarettes what is the most hazardous to health? Just curious.

Advertising.

Good call. I'd say fire was a close second.

Mmmmmmhhhh...cigarettes are delicious!

Nicotine.

i dont know which is most dangerous, but they do put ammonia in cigarettes. most notably phillip morris

I was thinking it was either nicotine or tar. But they do have small traces of rat poison in them.

Nicotine is what makes tobacco (all forms, not just cigarettes) addictive but it's the tar that does the most damage. Tar builds up in the lungs and hampers breathing. Tar also destroys lung tissue. Tar is the black resiny substance in cigarette residue, stains, and burns.

That may be but Nicotine still is the most dangerous...very poisonous I believe to have heard and therefore know.

It's claimed some contain arsenic, formaldehyde, DDT, lead, and cyanide.

Yes that is true.

The scent itself is enough to kill a person.

that's why I smoke marijuana cigarettes...........no harmful chemicals.......just sweet, sweet THC.

Hm..................embombinmg type fluid..........forget its name.



oh really???

sadly I can no longer partake in the goodness of that sweet, sweet herb due to drug testing at work. I must admit I am limited to only smoking Marlboro lights.

100's

without the addiction the other ingredients wouldnt cause as much damage.

People here in MI kinda roll there own with pure tobacco with non of the other ingredients.............cheap too. from I hear a cartine is like 60 bucks...............these people do it for about 15.

wtf?

Nicotine is pretty much harmless to the human body, although it is highly addictive.

Smoking the stuff is what damages the body I'm afraid.

Pure nicotine is toxic...

Well, it's certainly what makes tobacco the most useful suicide method....

Bad for you... but it feels relatively nice at the time... a lot of things are like that...

Well, if we are talking about what is the worst ingredient for you when smoking a cigarette then...what do I know...but Nicotine is a fast and certain death if you take it....

Definitely not a good idea to snort it...

or inject it!

Interesting...

To answer the question posed in the thread title:

The willingness of people to slowly kill themselves over an odious, foul-tasting substance like tobacco.
