Yes, and that is why you see a lot of long-term smokers coughing up a storm as they smoke. The carbon dioxide replaces the oxygen in your body, therefore your body must work harder to receive the oxygen it needs.
Burning any organic material will produce carbon dioxide
In minute quantities (approx.10-30 micrograms/kg in tobacco smoke), far too small to do any -- noticeable harm when compared to the other ingredients.
And far too little to do any noticeable harm when compared to the levels of arsenic in the food we eat, the water we drink and the 'fresh air' breathe.
The smoke from one cigarette MAY contain UP TO 30 nanograms (billionths of a gram) of arsenic. The maximum level of arsenic allowed in drinking water is 10 parts per billion. So half a litre of water (500grams) may contain 5,000 nanograms of arsenic, equivalent to that from over 150 cigarettes or more, and still be considered 'safe'.
The maximum level of arsenic in food, such as bacon and eggs, is 500 parts per billion. A 'safe' egg weighing approximately 60 grams may contain up to 30,000 nanograms of arsenic - 1,000 cigarettes-worth.
P.S. Historically, some tobacco may have contained signficantly greater concentrations of arsenic. (Tobacco Control are not particular concerning the source of their 'facts'.) The insecticide lead arsenate was widely used, not only on tobacco but also on other crops, such as apples and cranberries. Its use was banned in the 1980s.
