The main ingredient is tobacco. Tobacco contains nicotine, which is what makes smoking both enjoyable and addictive. Most cigarettes also contain chemical additives that help the tobacco burn slowly and evenly and that keep it from spoiling. Some of these other chemicals may be harmful, but the most harmful ingredient is the tobacco itself.
There are over 4,000 chemicals in tobacco. 43 are known to cause cancer. Tobacco is not the worst ingredient. The Nicotine in the cigarettes is what makes you addicted.
Cigarettes are simply tobacco rolled in cigarette paper and usually have a filter tip.
There are over 628. If more people were aware of the ingredients that make up cigarettes, they would never get close to a cigarette.
