True Smoking Facts Reveal the REAL Ingredients In Cigarettes

The Real Ingredients in Cigarettes

Many people naively believe that cigarettes are nothing more than rolled tobacco; how bad can it be to simply have a burning plant around you?

The real truth however is that the tobacco companies have been adding other ingredients to cigarettes since their invention, not only to improve the taste and flavor but to add to their addictiveness as well.

Unfortunately these ingredients are not only typically toxic on their own, but when they go through the chemical reaction of being burned, they increase in toxicity as well.

Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide, formaldehyde, and ammonia are all present in cigarette smoke. 43 known carcinogens are in mainstream smoke, passive or secondhand smoke, or both.

  • Mothballs contain naphthalenes, also found in cigarettes. This proven poison causes reproductive and brain breakdown.
  • The cadmium in batteries is extremely poisonous when found in cigarettes and results in kidney damage.
  • Tar is an ingredient found in roads and tires as well as cigarettes. A two pack a day smoker inhales one gram of tar a day. That is a quart of thick, gooey tar inhaled a year.
  • The arsenic used to kill rats is also found in cigarettes. It causes irritated lungs, abnormal heart beat, and a score of other symptoms.
  • Acetone is an ingredient found in nail polish remover as well as cigarettes. It is a harsh chemical which irritates your lungs and can lead to cancer.
  • The toxic phenol found in plastics and cigarettes can cause kidney and liver damage and reduced blood pressure, resulting in severe sickness and possibly death.
  • The ammonia in bleach speeds the delivery of nicotine to smokers and changes the reading of tar in cigarettes, making it seem lower.

So ask yourself, do you care to inhale the same ingredients found in nail polish remover, melted plastic, rat poison, batteries, and mothballs? And yet those are the same ingredients in every cigarette, not to mention tar, ammonia, nicotine, and other poisons.

True Smoking Facts – Adolescents Pick Up on Adults’ Behavior

Adolescents Pick Up on Adults’ Behavior – Even the Bad Stuff!

Anyone who has a child or who is familiar with children knows that they love to mimic the adults around them. From the time they are babies, they copy their parents voice, gestures, facial expressions, and even use the same words and phrases.

And sometimes this can be a problem, if the behavior they’re mimicking is a particular bad habit such as smoking! Unfortunately, adolescents are continuing to smoke, just as they see the adults do, in record numbers every year – a true smoking fact!

It’s estimated that some 8,000 children under 18 begin regular smokers every year; about 90% of smokers begin before they’re 21 years of age. In a recent survey of high school students, approximately 28% of them admitted to smoking regularly. Smokers are also very young; 5.5% of 8th graders (13-year-olds) smoke cigarettes daily.

It is also estimated that at least 4.5 million U.S. adolescents are cigarette smokers; that’s the equivalent of the population of the state of Alabama. If current tobacco use patterns persist, an estimated 6.4 million children will die prematurely from a smoking-related disease.

Most adolescents who are asked about their smoking habits admit that they would like to quit smoking but have a hard time doing so. Many have just as hard a time quitting as do those who have been long-time smokers.

Virtually any parent will say that if they knew of something that was of a particular danger to their child, they would respond quickly and decisively. Parents are even known to sue school districts and public buildings when it’s found out that they have been unsafe for their children, whether because of lead paint, asbestos, or poor air quality. Caring parents learn how to buckle their children safely in a car seat and make sure they have on a warm coat when going outside; they teach them not to talk to strangers and to look both ways before crossing the street. Again, it seems that most parents are very concerned for their child’s health, safety, and well-being.

And yet, here is a very dangerous habit of adults that so many children are copying. When a child sees an adult smoking and acting as if it’s cool, sexy, fashionable, or a great stress-reliever, how can the child be expected to do anything but pick up the same habit?

If you smoke and you have children, it’s time for you to stop, not just for your own health, but for the health of your children as well. You can set a better example for them, you can quit now, today!
