Trichloromethanal with chlorobenzene and chlorine. The name DDT stands for: Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, so you can understand why it's abbreviated!

Why is ddt in cigarettes?

DDT, or dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, is not intentionally added to cigarettes. However, trace amounts of DDT and other pesticides can be found in tobacco due to agricultural practices where these chemicals were historically used to control pests. The presence of DDT in tobacco is a result of environmental contamination rather than a deliberate inclusion in cigarette production. Regulatory measures have since limited the use of DDT, but residues can persist in the environment.
