What sticky black part of cigarette smoke?
You are describing tobacco tar. It is the main cause of lung and throat cancer those who smoke them. It can also cause yellow-brown stains on fingers and teeth. Pot actually has four times the amount of tar than tobacco cigarettes.
a cigarette that has no filter, just rolled tobacco in a cigarette paper It is just a ciggaratte which does not have the tip that goes in your mouth to filter extra tar; both sides are open. Pall Mall and Camel both still make non-filters.

How many substances in a cigarettes?
Tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 different chemicals.
At least 50 are known carcinogens (cause cancer in humans) and many are poisonous.
Cigarettes are one of few products which can be sold legally which can harm and even kill you over time if used as intended. There are ongoing lawsuits in the USA which aim to hold tobacco companies responsible for the effects of smoking on the health of long term smokers.

DON 'T SMOKE UNLESS YOU ARE SUICIDAL! YOU ARE THROWING YOUR LIFE AND MONEY AWAY! ACTUALLY, IF YOU'RE SMOKING, START WRITING YOURE WILL! THANK YOU.Four dangerous chemicals in cigarette smoke?
Tobacco containes many chemical substances.
The most commonly known are Nicotine and Tar.
Furthermore we have Formaline.
this of course in addition to Carbonmono and di-oxide (CO) and CO2
In fact if I were to mention all different chemicals that are concidered to be harmfull, then this list would be very long.
Scientists have isolated more than 1000 different substances in cigarettes.
Some even added by the cigarettecompanies in order to enhance the effect of the nicotine.
Nicotine is possibly the one main component that actually (according to research) is not harmfull to the body as such (In small amounts that is).
It might invoke addiction, but an addiction does not always impose danger.
Nicotine is not actually considered having cancerous properties.
It does however num the tiny hairs in our windpipe so that other particles from air and cigarettes have free access to our lungs.
Tar is a compound that is not readily absorbed or dealt with in our body.
Formaline is Ouch. I am sure you have read about butterfly collectors using it to kill off various butterflies, and smokers voluntarily breathe it in :-/
CO2. I just think of the fumes from a car exhaust pipe.
-Regards-
"Formaline" (Formaldehyde), besides being "ouch", is produced NATURALLY by the human body and is used as a food preservation. CO2, carbon dioxide, is exhaled by all animals, including human beings.
Apart from nicotine (and that's also found in potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants and peppers) and some of it's derivatives, all the 'nasty' chemicals present in tobacco smoke are in the food we eat, the water we drink and the 'fresh air' we breathe. Practically all the additives to tobacco are approved food additives.
"It's not the poison, it's the dose of the poison" is the first rule of toxicology. Tobacco smoke is mostly oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide (over 90% for secondhand smoke). All are safe in some doses but are dangerous (and lethal) in others.
Listing the chemicals alone is totally meaningless without their concentrations and citing their uses at exponentially greater doses is deliberately misleading. Here's another totally meaningless and misleading statement example:
Cod liver oil contains vitamin D, one of the most widely used rat poisons in the world! This rat poison is also DELIBERATELY added to fortify some foods.
Are cigarettes bad for your health?
Yes, most definitely!
The main problem with smoking is that it screws up you lungs, eating it would not do that. But still, I wont advise it, at all. Nicotine also, if ingested, causes diarrhea and nausea. Enough nicotine at once can cause death.
Just use a patch if you want to quit or other drugs that your doctor would advise.
If you want to start by eating your cigarettes rather don't start at all or just do what everyone does that smokes, smoke it.
Eating cigarettes can be WAY worse than smoking because you can overdose on nicotine. Nicotine is a poison. If you eat enough cigarettes you can DIE. 2mg of Nicotine, or 2 cigarettes (depending on what kind) is enough to kill someone small, so be careful if you actually decide to eat any cigarettes.
Why do crave cigarettes after you eat?
You'll also find people asking why they crave sugar after they quit smoking cigarettes, cold turkey.
The answer to both: nicotine addiction (like all uppers/stimulants) messes with your blood glucose in the long term. Nicotine raises blood sugar levels.
To further answer your question, nicotine addiction messes with your dopamine/norepinephrine/adrenaline in the long term. Nicotine raises these neurotransmitters, causing increased "energy" and focus.
Digestion takes a lot of energy. When a smoker eats, they begin to feel a heavy blood sugar drop, they become tired, they begin to lose focus, they become irritable and moody. Hence, they "need" a cigarette in order to normalize.
I'll go ahead and cover alcohol and sex.
Cigarettes comprise more than Nicotine and it's psychological/physical effects.
Tobacco also brings oxytocin and MAOI's to the table. Alcohol, like benzodiazepine, works on GABBA, causing neural transmitters to slow down. As an addicted smoker has a body accustomed to a drug that raises many neurotransmitter levels, alcohol has an amplified effect. Thus, smokers smoke a lot when they drink.
Sex (and exercise) releases a slurry of multiple (and seemingly contradicting) hormones and neurotransmitters. Depending on the specific sexual event, time of day, and the genetic makeup of the individual; these neurotransmitters/hormones can vary in levels. To pinpoint why someone smokes after sex would be difficult. They could be "chasing the dragon" (dopamine), needing energy and focus, or require relaxation (maoi/oxytocin). Obviously, it is certainly relative to the body's chemicals.
Hope this better answers your question than "I don't know, I think it's because it makes the caloric content of the food magically disappear".
Why some people use cigarette?
A cigarette is a very dangerous drug. Even though millions of people all over United States use it, no one seems to care. When using a cigarette, you suck it like you are sipping a straw. But you inhale it through your mouth gently. When I see people smoke, they breath out their nose or mouth and smoke comes out.
How do you roll a perfect cigarette with an electric cigarette machine?
Short answer: You don't. The allure of an electronic cigarette machine is that it is super-fast, easy, and fool-proof. This is not so. Most cigarette machines use a spoon-type injector. This includes the little handheld machines as well as the table top hand crank machines. The spoon injector method, with a little practice, makes a beautiful cigarette every time. The electronic machines, however, use an auger bit injector. The problem with the auger bit is that while injecting th tube it grinds the tobacco into what is essentially a fine powder. The resulting cigarette has to be put in the pack upside down so the tobacco does not fall out and when you smoke it the cherry will often fall off when you ash it. If it's speed you're worried about, I would recommend getting one of the hand crank style tabletop machines. You can get a very good one for between $40-60 and with a little practice you will be able to crank out cigarettes just as fast as the electric machines. The only difference is that they will actually be smokeable. I have tried many brands of the hand crank injectors. The best ones are the Top and Super-Matic machines. They are a little more money, but well worth it because they are constructed from quality materials and will not break easily. Stay away from the Gambler machine. They are cheap, but I've owned two of them and both broke within the first week. Hope this helps.
How can cigarette smoke be removed from wood furniture?

How many people smoke worldwide?
studies show that 5 trilian people smoke in the world that equals out to about 80% people smoke or use tobacco
Okay I made a answers.com account just to point out how WRONG this is, but anyone who knows anything would be able to see that! 5 trilian? First: Its Trillion, two l's not one. Second: 5 Trillion? please tell me you're joking, that about 1000 times the human population. More like 2.4 Billion which is 34% of the people living on Earth. Third: If you were acctually dumb enough to write that on your paper I hope you're teacher gave you a F.
*edit* Changed wright to write.
Changed trillian to trillion.
Does smoking black and milds make your lips black?
It doesn't. That happens to some people due to poor methods of smoking. When you roll a joint, put a filter in it (look up RAW filter tips). You can do the same if you prefer blunts, bluntwraps, cigarillos, etc. I use to smoke alot of those and they turned my lips black, but now thanks to filters they are normal & red.
I also do mostly glass (bongs, steamroller, pipes etc) and joints 2nd. Tobacco isn't healthy like cannabis, so mixing isn't really the best idea all the time, although a bluntwrap here or there won't hurt
How many cigarettes are sold in a day?
About 1 billion per day (in 2006).
According to the USDA, "Output for 2006 was 484.0 billion cigarettes...", but the consumption was 371 billion pieces for the same year. Calculating the number per day from there is simple division; 371 billion cigarettes divided by 365 days equals 1,016,438,356.16 cigarettes per day.
