Abstract

               When a cigarette or cigarette is lit, the tobacco burns and gives off smoke. It has been identified that in cigarette or cigarette smoke there are more than 8,000 chemicals or "smoke components). Public health agencies have classified about 100 of these chemicals as a cause or potential cause of various smoking-related diseases such as lung cancer, vessel disease Cardiovascular and emphysema These components include arsenic, benzene, benzene [a] pyrene, carbon monoxide, heavy metals (lead, cadmium), hydrogen cyanide, and tobacco-specific nitrosamines Are all cigarettes or cigarettes dangerous and addictive? Yes, all cigarettes or cigarettes are dangerous and addictive. Although there are many different cigarette or cigarette brands available on the market with different features (for example, type of tobacco blend, diameter, length and tar, nicotine or carbon monoxide content), smokers should not assume that the presence of these features means one cigarette is less dangerous or less addictive than other cigarettes. Although it is very difficult to quit smoking, millions of people have succeeded in doing it. Tar, Nicotine, and Carbon Monoxide Content Tar Tar is the residue of the particles contained in cigarette or cigarette smoke. These particles are not just one chemical, but rather a mixture of several thousand smoke components. Tar is measured under laboratory conditions by trapping the particles in a filter and then reducing the water and nicotine. Nicotine Nicotine is a chemical found naturally in the tobacco plant. When tobacco is burned, nicotine passes into the smoke. Nicotine, although addictive, is not the main cause of smoking-related illnesses. Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide is a gas that is formed in cigarette or cigarette smoke. Carbon monoxide is known to be the leading cause of cardiovascular disease (heart disease) in smokers.
