What are the Poisions in a cigarette?
Answer
Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, including 43 known cancer-causing (carcinogenic) compounds and 400 other toxins. These include nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide, as well as formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, and DDT.
The human body contains MILLIONS of chemicals. Carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and ammonia are produced endogenously by the human body. Nicotine is also present in potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers and egg-plants. (The pharmaceutical industry is researching the use of nicotine to treat a variety of conditions from pain relief to Touree's Syndrome. Nicotinic herbicide is approved for organic farming.) Tar is produced in the combustion of household gas, wood, coal, oil, candles, BBQs and incense sticks. Nuts and some vegetables contain significant levels of cyanide. Arsenic is absorbed from the soil and atmosphere not just by tobacco but by all plants, including 'healthy' fruit and vegetables. DDT, if it is still being used, will also be used on other crops.
The first fundamental law of toxicology is that it is not the toxin, it's the dose. Most of these alleged 4000+ chemicals can only be detected using state of the art equipment. Many are also intermediate by-products which are broken down in as little as nano-seconds.
The most potent toxin known to man is botulinum. Around three kilos of it is enough to wipe out the whole human race (and it's not man-made!). It is also used clinically and cosmetically under the trade name of Botox!
"How many 'toxins' are in the 'fresh air' we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink?" Isn't that the question we should be asking? Any takers? Based on Tobacco Control's criteria, I would say tens, maybe hundreds, of millions, with almost a 1,000 carcinogens (i.e. all that have been classified to date).
What is rat poison called in cigarettes?
This is historical stuff. Decades ago, arsenic was used as a rat poison and also as a pesticide on tobacco and many other plants. Traces of pesticide remained on the plants and that's how it entered both the food-chain and tobacco. Although its use has been banned, traces of arsenic are absorbed by ALL plants from the environment. Drinking water contains arsenic from the same source. Government agencies set safe levels for it in drinking water. A tumbler of drinking water can contain the same amount of arsenic as hundreds of cigarettes and still be considered "safe".
"Healthy" oily fish and cereals contain the more modern rat poison, Vitamin D3. Another widely used rat poison is one of the most prescribed drugs, Warfarin.
Do any smokers know what damage smoking can do to them?
I do think that some smokers know what smoking can do to them well if you go around and do a survey you will find out that smokers do know what harm smoking can do to them Most of Them So Know What Its Doing To Them But Teenages Use It As An "Image", But Then, When They Wanna Quite, They Cant Becasue By The Time They realise Its Not Cool And What Its Doing To Them, There Too Hooked To Give Up. I Am A Smoker, And The One Thing i Would Love Is To Quite, Somebody Who Is Not A Smoker Would Say Its Easy, But Its Not, When You Have The Will Power To Do It, You Can Do It. I Know What Its Doin To My Body, And I hate The Thought Of It, And What Its Puttin My Family Through Becasue My Mum Has Never Smoked. Most People Will Say "Oh Well, I Dont Care" But They Do. It Might Seem good Now But Its Gunna Screw Us In The Long run!

What brand of thongs are the most comfortable?

Maybe. It depends on the iodine level in the soil in which the tobacco is grown.
Iodine occurs naturally in sea water and some types of soil. Sea fish and shellfish are a good source. Iodine can also be found in plant foods such as cereals and grains, but the levels vary depending on the amount of iodine in the soil where the plants are grown.
A nice bit of fish is better for you than a cigarette - depending on the levels of mercury and other marine toxins in the fish, of course.
(Iodine helps make the thyroid hormones. These hormones help keep cells and the metabolic rate healthy.)
How does holding an average size dip in ones mouth for 30 minutes compare to smoking a cigarette?
One can of dip can give 6-8 average pinches. One can also holds about 4 packs of cigarettes worth of nicotine. So one pinch would equal 10-13 cigarettes. That is usually absorbed within that first 30 mins.
people smoke cigarettes because they think that if they try it they will know the commotion about it or if they are peer pressured but what some people don't know about it is that fags and cigarettes have nicotine in them it is a drug that makes them believe that that they want more of it to stay happy if they do not have any then they can be very upset and aggressive.
What is the most common reason people start smoking cigarettes despite its being a health risk?
People that start smoking even though they know it's a health risk tend to be people that also have a weak mind, and are highly able to be influenced by their peers, family, and other idea sparking surroundings very easily.
For example, many people start smoking to be in the "In" crowd, or to be labeled cool or "with-it".
TIP: You should always be yourself, and If you know smoking is bad for you, either stand up for your beliefs while around these people, or distance yourself from them.
How much for a pack of cigarettes in Canada in 1979?
I paid 85cents for 20 or $7.75 for a carton(200 cigs.) Nov. 1979 @ the age of 14 !
I don't actually believe this question has anything to do with the man, but the cigarette. i think the portrayal of the image is designed to make the act of smoking seem more appealing, and attractive, rather than actually "turn someone on".
overall... i think its a advertising ploy!
hope this helps
How does buying under risk differ from buying under uncertainty?
A risk is a compound estimation between an impact severity (if the risk concretizes) and the associated probability of occurrence (its uncertainty). As an example, the nuclear risk is composed of its impact severity (i.e. Tchernobyl) multiplied by its probability of occurrence (hopefully very low in the developped countries, where nuclear plants are operated under adequate security policies), thus the nuclear risk is judged acceptable. Compare this to the risk associated with a water dam, where the impact is much reduced compared to a nuclear accident (a single region overflooded instead of a whole continent), but with higher probability (much more water dams have broken in human history than nuclear plants). Other useful points to take into consideration: If the probability of occurrence associated to a risk is 0, this is not a risk anymore: it's a no-case. If, on the other side, the probability is 1, this is not a risk either. It's a problem that must immediately be dealt with as such, and not managed as a risk anymore. What can be done to directly reduce a risk ? There are essentially two axes of action:
- Reduce the impact's severity
- Reduce the probability of occurrence For exemple, in the maganament of fire risk inside a building, these two axes are envisioned:
- Put a fire detector in every room and firewalls between building aisles
(this clearly reduces the impact in case of fire, since the fire is detected earlier)
- Forbid smoking inside the building (this contributes clearly to the probability reduction, since it's a proven insurance fact that nine fires out of ten are due to improperly out-put butts) Besides these direct actions, there are also indirect ones, like for exemple having a rescue plan ready to reduce the number of victims in case the risk concretizes, and delegating (part of) the risk to a third party, typically by taking an insurance, but this has more to do with the side-effects than directly with the risk itself.
