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.
