Chemicals contained in a cigarette

Cigarette is made up of tobacco and nicotine that are considered as the most harmful components for human body. We have knowledge and we have known how but still we do not agree to quit smoking. But if I tell you that cigarette has more than four thousand harmful chemicals that are really very dangerous for health, what would you do?

 

Should you plan to quit smoking or still you want to die a miserable life. Cigarette gives you no benefit it is just a deadly monster for your body. Out of these four thousand chemicals present in the cigarette fifty of them are cause of different cancer and one more thing you can keep in mind if you are smoker that at the same time, you can suffer from two or three cancers just because you smoke and one of them will definitely push you towards the death. So it is you who can decide your good, secure and healthy future.

 

In this article, I will give you a list of the chemicals that are present in just one stick of cigarette and you might be a chain smoker so you even in take fifty cigarettes a day. And if you multiply fifty with four thousand then you can know by yourself that what you are in taking for your body. Should your body have stamina to fight with twenty thousand harmful chemicals a day?

 

Now let see the chemicals that are present in single cigarette:

 

On the top is Ammonia that is used in toilet cleaners and fluids.

 

The second is acetone that is used in the nail polish removers.

 

Third is the solvent in gasoline, the Benzine.

 

 Fourth is the cadmium that is the heavy metal mostly used in the batteries and cells. A flaming fuel chemical known as Formaldehyde is also present in the cigarette. Hexamine is used to light the barbeque fluid. Then there is another harmful chemical known as hydrogen cyanide used to burn the chambers. This element is a poison.

 

Naphthalene and mercury both used in moth balls. Naphthalene is also used in the insect and mouse killer acids.

 

This one you might be using in your home to kill the bacteria on your kitchen or wash room floor known as Phenol. Toluene the chemical used in industries as solvent, zinc, strontium, styrene the plastic maker or you can say plastic itself etc.

 

In the above mentioned chemicals there is not a single chemical that is worth for a human body. Think of the smoke that your puff releases. It is full of killing toxics and poison. These can not only kill you but the other people around you.

 

It is not only you whose health matters obviously; it is the people around you who are just suffering these chemicals and diseases just because of you.
