What Are You Smoking?

Do you really know what you are smoking with every puff? I always thought it was just tobacco. Boy was I wrong.

There are over 4,000 chemical compounds present in cigarette smoke, and many of these compounds are confirmed carcinogens. Here is a partial listing of some of the toxins you are taking into your body every time you inhale smoke from a cigarette.

Toxins You Intake In Every Puff:

* Acetone - This is a chemical manly used in finger nail polish remover

* Ammonia - The same stuff janitors use to clean the bathrooms to kill off bacteria’s and odor

* Arsenic - One of the main ingredients in rat / mouse poison.

* Butane - Key part in the creation of lighter fluid

* Cadmium - The most active component in battery acid

* Carbon Monoxide - The same gas released from your car’s exhaust system

* DDT/Dieldrin - A poison used in commercial insecticides

* Ethanol - More commonly known as alcohol

* Hydrogen Cyanide - yet another lethal poison

* Methane - The gas released from your bowels (what a nice thought)

* Methanol - A component in making rocket fuel

* Naphthalene - One of the ingredients used in mothballs

* Nicotine - Yet another insecticide, and a highly addictive substance. The legal drug.

* Stearic Acid - a compound found in candle wax

* Toluene - An industrial strength cleaning solvent

Take a second look at this list and just imagine the kind of damage you are doing to your body with every puff. I find it amazing that such a collection of destructive chemicals can be legally packaged and sold in your local convenient store.

I hope that you enjoyed this article. When I found this discovery this made me realize I needed to stop puffing.

Talk to you soon!
