You are going to just have to create your own choices. Smoke or doubler?
A lot more research on smoke.. warning scary!
Researchers have estimated that cigarette smoke has 7,357 chemical compounds from many different classes (Rodgman and Perfetti 2009
https://books.google.com.au/books?id=D2HvBQAAQBAJ )
- A few of the more commonly known chemicals in cigarette smoke
Cancer causing chemicals in tobacco smoke include:
- Benzene;
- 2-naphthylamine;
- 4-aminobiphenyl;
- Chromium;
- Cadmium;
- Vinyl chloride;
- Ethylene oxide;
- Arsenic;
- Beryllium;
- Nickel; and
- Polonium-210.1,2
Toxic chemicals in tobacco smoke include:
- Nicotine - the addictive agent in tobacco smoke;
- Formaldehyde - utilised in preservation of laboratory specimens;
- Ammonia - employed in toilet cleaner;
- Hydrogen Cyanide - used in rat poison;
- Acetone - used in nail polish remover;
- Carbon monoxide - present in car exhaust;
- Tar - particulate matter in cigarette smoke;
- Toluene - found in paint thinners;
- Phenol - used in fertilisers. 1,2
These chemicals are considered toxic because they have serious health impacts about the
human body. For example:
- Hydrogen cyanide, deadly carbon monoxide and tar cause, or are related to,
cardiovascular disease and chronic obstructive lung disease;1 and
- Ammonia and formaldehyde cause eye, nose and throat irritations and other
breathing problems.
Now here an extensive listing of chemical components found in tobacco smoke:
