Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) was identified in cigarettes smoke but very probably the concentration is not important for health.
Far more significant is the nicotine content of cigarettes. Nicotine is a deadlier posion (by ld50) and is also addictive.
a poison that can kill slowly and painfully is cyanide. lets just say it wouldn't be the nicest way to go...
hydrogen cyanide
Cyanide
Cyanide is a potent poison that stops aerobic respiration by interfering with the electron transport chain in mitochondria. This disruption prevents cells from using oxygen to produce energy, ultimately leading to cell death.
Cyanide acts at the level of the cell mitochondria (the cell's energy factory) to stop the utilization of oxygen in the formation of energy (adenotriphosphates - ATP). Without this energy (ATP), cells cannot function and ultimately die. Cyanide has the same effect in humans... you can die of cyanide poisoning.
She ingested a poison killed cyanide.
The poison used to kill possums has arsenic in it. It can also contain cyanide, ethylene glycol, and several other dangerous chemicals that are used to kill the animal.
No. Hitlers wife did not shoot herself she took a cyanide pill.

Hitler did NOT take poison. He shot himself. Goering, Hitler's No. 2, was captured. Tried at the Nuremburg Trials. Condemned to Death. However, less than 24 hours before his execution, he bit a vial of ??? Cyanide ??? poison in his cell , and died. ' October 1946.
They drunk cyanide, a poison which was suppose to kill you in an instant but the samples were old and ineffective, only making those who took it vomit. They drank the cyanide in an attempt to kill themselves so they weren't caught.
cyanide
Yes. Because the enzyme released by the cassava are turned into cyanide. A poisonous substance that can be fatal.
Cyanide is a poison, and Hydrogen Cyanide is often used to purify gold.
About 150mg of cyanide can kill a 60kg human so about 15g should kill a 6000 kg adult male elephant. The cyanide would kill the elephant in much the same way it kills humans because we are both mammals.
Cyanide is very poisonous. Cyanide is sold in a variety of forms such as granules, powder, paste or encapsulated cyanide pellet.This depends on the nature of the cyanide and its intended use. For example sodium cyanide used in manufacturing jewellery is a white powder. Cyanide in paste form used for pest control looks like a gel or paste. And yes cyanide is used in cigarettes, but the addicting substance is nicotine.The lethal dose of cyanide is approximately 0.5 - 1.0 mg/kg body weight or about 70 mg for an adult. My recomendation is stay away from it!
I believe that it has to be eaten.
