Dangers of Smoking

Previously, I\'ve told you in regards to the impact toxins might have on your health. But nowhere do you discover a more concentrated source of environmental pollutants and chemical toxins than in one single cigarette.

As a former nicotine junkie, I know this isn\'t what smokers wish to hear. But, whether you currently illuminate, have quit the habit, or have never smoked at all, this really is information you need to know.

The sad the fact is that, every eight seconds, someone on earth dies from tobacco use. That means approximately 5 million deaths annually. Actually, half of all long-term smokers will die a tobacco-related death. As Clint Eastwood once said, "Do you are feeling lucky? Well, do ya?"

Then there\'s secondhand smoke, which affects anyone managing a smoker - or those in or visiting a smoke-filled environment. Secondhand smoke contains over 50 cancer-causing chemical compounds, 11 that are considered to be Group 1 carcinogens. And think about that cigarette smoldering in a ashtray? It turns out that the smoke from the smoldering cigarette can contain higher concentrations of the toxins within cigarette smoke than exhaled smoke does.

Make Me an Addict

If you believe cigarettes are just tobacco leaves rolled in paper, you\'re about 597 ingredients off. Some ingredients are added for flavor, but research shows that the key purpose of using additives is to improve tobacco\'s potency. And which means more people who try smoking become addicted. And the additives they are using are shocking.

I recall hearing something about "the list" of tobacco additives back the 1990s, when tobacco companies first began being taken up to task. But seeing the list again since I\'m a former smoker is fairly a shock. When burnt, a cigarette spews significantly more than 4,000 chemicals, including over 40 known carcinogenic compounds and 400 other toxins. These include nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide, in addition to formaldehyde, ammonia, cyanide, arsenic, and DDT. To believe I used to put these toxins in by body, one pack at a time.

Chemical Soup

Once upon an occasion, ขายบุหรี่ไฟฟ้า really were just tobacco and paper. But, allowing the total "flavor" of the tar in the future through triggered a bitter taste. The perfect solution is was to incorporate filters and flavorings to improve the taste. Nevertheless the cigarette manufacturers didn\'t stop there. They found that a chemical just like rocket fuel helps maintain the end of the cigarette burning at an exceptionally hot temperature, which effectively vaporizes the nicotine. Adding ammonia to cigarettes allows this nicotine vapor to be absorbed through the lungs more quickly. This, subsequently, means your brain will get a higher dose of nicotine with each inhalation. Now that\'s efficiency.
