Do you mean arsenic, strychnine and cyanide?
Arsenious pesticides were commonly used on many crops, including tobacco, but their use has been banned for decades. Arsenic occurs naturally and is absorbed by all plants (and domestic water supplies) from the environment.
Strychnine is an allelochemical produced by the strychnos genus of plants, of an entirely different family to the tobacco plant. It is used as a pesticide and rodenticide but its use is severely restricted to below-ground.
Cyanide is produced naturally by over 1,000 plant species, but not by the tobacco plant. It is present in apricots, peaches, apples, raspberries, many nuts in particular almonds, and vegetables, such as corn, butter beans and spinach.
The permitted levels of arsenic and cyanide in foods and domestic drinking water are substantially higher than those found in tobacco.
Many foods are processed in vats and chemicals added!
How do menthol cigarettes work?
They put menthol in the filter. Rip the tobaco of a menthol cigarete and draw clean air through a clean menthol cigarete filter and it wil be mentholated air.
No they don't. The tabocco itself is menthol. I smoke menthol tobacco and I use normal filters, not menthol filters, which I don't even know if you can buy.
Rub Vick's Vapor Rub on the filter, and it will kinda taste like a menthol.
your both right it depends on the brand. alot of camels use menthol in the filter and they have to put alot to oer compensate for the menthol not being in the tobacco like crushes. camel silver menthols have both they have menthol in the tobacco and a ball you can crush in the filter to make it more menthol. as for making a cig taste like menthol ive heard people say tooth paste but it does not work it cloggs the filter. havent tryed anything else.

What chemicals are in fire safe cigarettes?
there are lots of harmful chemicals in them such as carbon monoxide ammonia which is the same stuff that is in window cleaner .
Ammonia is produced naturally by the human body and is essential as a building block for making proteins and other complex molecules. It is also used as a food additive, as are the vast majority of the chemicals listed as additives to tobacco. Ammonia also occurs naturally in some foods, such as peanut butter and cheese.
Carbon Monoxide is a by-product of the combustion of any carboniferous substance - coal, oil, gasoline, domestic gas, candles, incense sticks, BBQs, log fires, food!, etc. It too is produced naturally by the human body and has been shown to be a neurotransmitter. Along with nitric oxide and hydrogen sulphide (other 'nasties' in tobacco smoke?), carbon monoxide is also known to act as an anti-infammatory, vasodilator and promoter of neovascular growth. Clinical trials of small amounts of carbon monoxide as a drug are on-going.
ALL chemicals, including water and oxygen, are harmful, even lethal, in the appropriate dose. And, as the above examples demonstate, the opposite also applies.
Whether the levels of these chemicals in tobacco and tobacco smoke are harmful, harmless or even beneficial is subject to interpretation. As a SCIENTIST, smoking is not a good idea yet the dangers of tobacco smoke are grossly exaggerated.
What substances do cigarettes contain that are harmful to the developing child?
Well it has been estimated that a single cigarette contains approximately 8000 different chemicals, from which most still remain unknown. While nicotine on it's own is not "harmful" it's the main cause of addiction- along with conditioning. Now among the other chemicals it has been estimated that at least 80 of them are carcinogens, and since we are talking about a child, every single cigarette contributes in the child's abnormal development and could potentially cause a variety of chronic, non-chronic, and permanent diseases and disabilities.
Quitting is the most uplifting thing you can do for your body, mind and soul, along with those living around you.
When it comes to children I think every detail and ingredient is dangerous.

Does cigarette have chocolate in it?
no
The first person answered no, but cigarettes do have chocolate in them. Tobacco companies are now required by FDA to disclose all ingredients in tobacco and chocolate was one of them as well as cocoa. The tobacco companies that disclosed this information was LM, Phillip Morris, RJ Reynolds and American tobacco company. There are a lot of ingredients in a cigarette that is questionable. Rum for instance, rosemary oil, lemon oil. I worry more about the rat poison and carbon monoxide and whatever para-methoxyphenyl is.
well a "joint" without a filter works in the way when you set the end of on fire and inhale, it takes just the tobacco/weed that you are burning at the time and that turns into vapor (as any think you set on fire would) and it travels from the whole part of the paper to your mouth, lungs,etc....with a filter the vapor just goes through all the filter to filter out some of the cancer causing chemicals...
The reason why the filter is brown/tan when you get done with the cigarette is not because of the chemicals being filtered, its actually from the resin from the tobacco/weed being traveled through the whole cigarette

How much does the average person pay for cigarettes each year?
The average person, in the general population, much of which never uses smokeless tobacco? Or the average smokeless tobacco user? My expense is probably higher than average - I dip only Copenhagen, the most expensive brand, and I go through about a can a day. It used to be over $5 a can here in central Virginia, but most of the time I could find it on special and it cost me less than $4 can. Now, the US Tobacco Company has drastically cut their prices across the board in response to state governments imposing stiff new taxes on tobacco products, and the regular price is now under $4 per can. Anyway, at about $3.75 per can, 360 cans a year, it costs me an estimated $1350 a year.
