The first rule of toxicology is that it's not the toxin, it's the dose. Also, the toxic doses vary from one species of animal to another. For example, vitamin D is essential to us humans (in fact, it's actually added to milk in some countries) but it is used as a rat poison. One of the most widely prescribed drugs in the world, warfarin, is also used as a rat poison.

If we tried to breathe pure oxygen for any length of time, we would die. Drinking too much water can cause potentially lethal "water intoxication". The human body naturally produces many of the "toxins" produced by cigarettes, carbon monoxide, and ammonia to name two. These are ESSENTIAL to life.

In no way am I advocating smoking. However, you should be asking how many "toxins" are present in the (smoke-free) 'fresh air' we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink. Then ask how did they get there and how did they get into tobacco.

But don't panic. It's not the toxin, it's the dose.
