Nasty stuff.

Cigarettes contain over 4000 chemicals, which include nail polish remover, pesticide, petrol, fertilisers, fumigants and mothballs.

A bunch of crap that nobody should put in to their body.

to much bad crap!!!!

There are quite a few ingredients in cigarettes, none of which you would like to cook with. While most are toxic and are cancer -causing the most widely-known and most notorious is nicotine . If you have ever done organic chemistry in school, you will have had an opportunity to see how filthy and nasty it is. Therefore, if you smoke, please try to stop; if you're not a smoker, please do not start. I was once a smoker who is now proudly a non-smoker.
