Toxicity of Cigarettes

May"s Theme is Breaking Bad Habits

Gone are the days of most things pure.  America"s food industries pre-package everything.  Few of us are savvy enough to figure out that box food is bad, and detrimental to our health.  Well, the tobacco industry is no different.  Gone are the days of dried tobacco leaves rolled up in some paper.  Did you know that there are over 600 ingredients that go into a cigarette?  It"s true.  And while I am shocked at that number, I am even more surprised that burning a cigarette causes chemical reactions so that over 7,000 chemicals are released into the atmosphere.  For us.  To breath.  Did you just consciously hold your breath?
