How does arsenic from cigarettes effect the body?
Humans ingest an average of 50 milligrams of Arsenic a day, 80% of this comes from Meat, Fish, Poultry and Crop grown products; the other 20% comes from drinking water. Cigarettes contain approximately 0.8 micrograms of arsenic per pack (0.04 micrograms per cigarette). Two basic forms of arsenic exist; organic and inorganic. Inorganic arsenic is more poisonous than organic, and is present in cigarettes, drinking water and crops grown in the USA. The same amount of arsenic is present in crops as is in cigarettes. The reason behind this is that farmers used arsenic for pesticides, and the soil still contains this compound which is then filtered into drinking water supplies or into the plants themselves. Tobacco itself does not contain arsenic, it is a left over from pesticides still present in the soil. The full answer to your question (once you understand how it got there) is; Arsenic in tobacco effects you the same way as the arsenic in corn, too much will kill you (corn or tobacco).

Why are marlboro 72's called 72's?
they are 72mm long apposed to the 82mm of a standard cigg. That is also why 100s are 100s 100mm long. It refers to the length. that's why marlboro makes reds, lights, menthol, ultra light, and milds in the 72 variety. However when comparing sizes you can see that really the only thing that changes is filter size. 72s have just a little shorter filters than regular king size cigs. And the length of the tobacco area is just a little shorter.. and 100s have longer filters than king size and a little longer tobacco tube. That's why some people believe that 100s give you more for your money.

"I think people are grateful just to have a shot at getting lungs," said Dr. Sharven Taghavi, a cardiovascular surgical resident at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, who led the new study...........................
Ive done the math here and this is how it works out with second ahnd smoke and people inhaling it!
The 16 cities study conducted by the U.S. DEPT OF ENERGY and later by Oakridge National laboratories discovered:
Cigarette smoke, bartenders annual exposure to smoke rises, at most, to the equivalent of 6 cigarettes/year.
146,000 CIGARETTES SMOKED IN 20 YEARS AT 1 PACK A DAY.
A bartender would have to work in second hand smoke for 2433 years to get an equivalent dose.
Then the average non-smoker in a ventilated restaurant for an hour would have to go back and forth each day for 119,000 years to get an equivalent 20 years of smoking a pack a day! Pretty well impossible ehh!
