5 shocking cigarette components

Smoking is harmful for our body. Most people affirm that they already know this, but do they really understand what components they take? Each cigarette contains over 4,000 of different substances and additives. And can you enumerate at least 5 components of a cigarette?
Knowledge is a power. Knowledge about what passes into the body will help you to make a right decision. But if you continue smoking, it is your choice; at least you will be aware about what you are consuming.
Here are 5 substances that were found in cigarette sediments.

Arsenic

It is a well-known poison of the killers. Arsenic was used in order to take the life of such famous historical figures as Napoleon and the King of England, George III.

Butane

It is a smelly substance which is contained in the liquid used in lighters. Well, you may think, that you use it only to light up a cigarette. But it can be found in the cigarette itself! Daily inhalation of the substance is harmful for your respiratory system.

DDT

This is a pesticide that used to be very popular. The use of DDT was prohibited in the 70′s because it was discovered that it is the reason of birth defects, and has a negative impact on human health, and also harms the environment. But, obviously, it is convenient for those who inhale it into their lungs, and pregnant women and children also breathe it in.

Formaldehyde

This substance is usually injected into the dead bodies to keep their appearance until the funeral. However, I can not say that formaldehyde has the same effect on living people.

Toluol

This chemical substance is usually added to gasoline to get benzene. A solvent for paints has also this substance. It negatively affects the central nervous system and can cause dizziness, headache, fatigue and depression.
And we have enumerated only a few substances of the cigarette you smoked. If you were asked to drink formaldehyde, would you do it? And if you have been offered to inhale DDT, would you agree? Why are smokers doing it and paying for such honor? The sooner you will quit smoking, the better for your health. However, it may be difficult to quit smoking; you need to choose right and successful method to quit.
