Please take a moment to review the 599 additives that are used in cigarette manufacturing. Cigarettes are loaded with tons of corn and msg. Many thanks to Eldi from the Delphi Forum for sharing this site.

While these ingredients are approved as additives for foods, they were not tested by burning them, and it is the burning of many of these substances which changes their properties, often for the worse. Over 4000 chemical compounds are created by burning a cigarette – 69 of those chemicals are known to cause cancer. Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanides and ammonia are all present in cigarette smoke. Forty-three known carcinogens are in mainstream smoke, sidestream smoke or both. It’s chilling to think about not only how smokers poison themselves, but what others are exposed to by breathing in the secondhand smoke. The next time you’re missing your old buddy, the cigarette, take a good long look at this list and see them for what they are: a delivery system for toxic chemical and carcinogens.
I just wrote an email to my baby brother about this…..I am hoping to get him to try smoking pure pipe tobacco from a glass pipe at least if he won’t quit smoking. He has a lot of health issues but can’t seem to kick the cigarette habit. He’s a poor artist so I’m hoping the money saved will be an extra incentive. I told him even if he bought special organic tobacco blends online it would cost half as much as he currently pays for cigarettes. I sure hope he listens.
I hope so, too.
