What's in That Smoke?

Most people know that cigarette smoke conatins tar and nicotine. If they're a bit more well-informed, they're aware of the sugars and - if they saw the movie - they know about the amonia. But did you have any idea that cigarettes contain the following 601 ingredients? Or that dozens of them have been shown to cause cancer? No? Then read this list and get to know the chemicals and additives that are destroying your body. Better yet, print this list out, fold it up and put it in your cigaretter pack. Read it every time you think about lighting up. Talk about a smobering experience! LB
