Cigarette smoke contains over 7,000 harmful chemicals, with around 69 linked directly to cancer, as reported by the American Lung Association. Each puff introduces toxins to the body, including substances typically found in household products, yet these are clearly labeled as dangerous when sold in stores.
Here’s a closer look at some of the toxic chemicals inhaled from smoking:
- Acetone (nail polish remover)
- Acetic acid (hair dye)
- Ammonia (house cleaners)
- Arsenic (rat poison)
- Benzene (rubber cement)
- Butane (lighter fluid)
- Cadmium (battery acid)
- Carbon monoxide (car exhaust fumes)
- Formaldehyde (embalming fluids)
- Hexamine (barbecue fluid)
- Lead (battery)
- Naphthalene (mothballs)
- Methanol (rocket fuel)
- Nicotine (insecticides)
- Tar (paving materials)
- Toluene (paints)
