Answer
Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, including 43 known cancer-causing (carcinogenic) compounds and 400 other toxins. These include nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide, as well as formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, and DDT.
The human body contains MILLIONS of chemicals. Carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and ammonia are produced endogenously by the human body. Nicotine is also present in potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers and egg-plants. (The pharmaceutical industry is researching the use of nicotine to treat a variety of conditions from pain relief to Touree's Syndrome. Nicotinic herbicide is approved for organic farming.) Tar is produced in the combustion of household gas, wood, coal, oil, candles, BBQs and incense sticks. Nuts and some vegetables contain significant levels of cyanide. Arsenic is absorbed from the soil and atmosphere not just by tobacco but by all plants, including 'healthy' fruit and vegetables. DDT, if it is still being used, will also be used on other crops.
The first fundamental law of toxicology is that it is not the toxin, it's the dose. Most of these alleged 4000+ chemicals can only be detected using state of the art equipment. Many are also intermediate by-products which are broken down in as little as nano-seconds.
The most potent toxin known to man is botulinum. Around three kilos of it is enough to wipe out the whole human race (and it's not man-made!). It is also used clinically and cosmetically under the trade name of Botox!
"How many 'toxins' are in the 'fresh air' we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink?" Isn't that the question we should be asking? Any takers? Based on Tobacco Control's criteria, I would say tens, maybe hundreds, of millions, with almost a 1,000 carcinogens (i.e. all that have been classified to date).

Toxins.
I think its flying
purchase a mongoose
lead, rat poison, and tar
no rabbits are not poisonous they are vegiterian not carnivores,no raeson for poison...
It fills your lungs with tar which is in the cigarette. Cigarettes also contain many types of poisions including rat poision. The substances can clot your blood and give you cancer, lung disease and heart disease to. The surest sign that a cigarette is killing you is a wheese/cough known as the "smokers cough", you will also find it hard to walk long distances and may not be able to run for very long.
Technicaly not a disease, but poisions where the first disease, such as lead, or mecury.
Chlorine, Diphosgene, Tearing Agent, and Mustard Gas were used as poisions in WWI
100% NO! Avacados are like poisions too hamsters.. and they may can die
Why do you want to know? I don't think you should be looking for poison!
climate change over fishing use of dynamite use of poisions
