Why is Hydrogen Cyanide in Cigarettes?
It is not. What happens is that when you burn a complex product like tobacco or indeed almost any substance, if there is nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon and oxygen present there is always the chance of producing something like HCN. It has been proven if you over cook meat on a charcoal grill there is a chance that traces of carcinogens can be produced. So hydrogen cyanide is not present per se, but by burning in a restricted oxygen environemnt, HCN may be produced in minute traces.
