Radium and Polonium are often found in tobacco. This is caused by the fertilizers used in the growing of the tobacco leaf itself. Tobacco contains only one radioactive element which is found in tar these are Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. The ammounts are negligible but undoubtedly contribute to the ill health asssosciated with smoking.

An element that gives off nuclear radiation what?
Sounds to me like radiation from a radioactive isotope. The breaking down part would be the half-life. But the isotope won't completely break down. Only until it reaches a stable form. Such as, radium-226 decays finally to lead-206. During the process it emits charged Alpha particles.
What element can be used as a slow poison?
What poison, specifically? Several elements are poisonous all by themselves ... arsenic, chlorine, and fluorine to name a few. Lead isn't acutely "poisonous", but it (and several other elements) cause heavy metal toxicity. Plutonium will kill you via ionizing radiation. And so on.
