I was pondering this last night.
Is it the chemicals added, or the actual tobacco in addition to the chemicals?
For example..... Lets say i have a tobacco plant and i take a few leaves off, dry them up, grind them up, roll em up, and smoke them. Are they still as bad as the ones you would buy in a store?
I don't smoke and i don't plan to, for the record.
Because it makes you smell like shit and gives you bad teeths.
As for the chemical question, I can't answer, I too don't smoke and do not plan to.
it's the smoke that's bad for you... and so are the chemicals.. it's ALL bad for you. the smoke cooks your lungs, and the chemicals fuck up your brain. Also, there's TAR.
Oh no OP you have it all wrong!
Cigarettes are as healthy as salary, smoke them everyday OP! They say it will expand your life span by 10 years!
Tar and carbon monoxide, you inhale them both. Then there is the chemicals too.
as part of the manufacturing process, the tobacco companies are VERY lenient on what counts as "safe for human consumption" in terms of cigarettes
they don't purposely put the chemicals into the tobacco, but because of their demand and how fast they need to make them, usually there isn't extensive checking on how clean the tobacco is
for example, they might use industrial chemicals or pesticides around the leaves when grown, and during the process(you hear these tales about rat poison, probably intended to actually kill the rats but some worker handles the poison and forgets to wash his hands) someone forgets to clean the machines, etc
all sorts of things that lead to a defective product, but they don't have to tell you about it
also tobacco smoke isn't exactly great for your lungs

OP is not trying to say they're healthy. He's just trying to find out why they're bad for you.

yeah p much. i dont doubt theyre unhealth
I believe, but i am not sure, but i believe it's mainly the tar that's bad for you. It gives you the smokers cough.
although i am not sure what exactly causes the cancer. Might be tar, might be something else.
If you want to die younger, act badass, ruin your lungs, get into bad fit in anyway, then start smoking!!
But its the chemicals which are bad for you, not the actual tobacco.
Added chemicals or not, it still causes cancer.
Generally smoking is bad for you, most notably cigarettes, the little soldiers..

Nope. Agreed there are harmless shit in cigarettes, but tobacco itself is more harmful than some of the harmless chemicals found in cigarettes.
Pretty sure they teach you all about this throughout school. You should pay attention in class next time?
Cigarettes are bad because miniature elves live in them, they travel with the smoke into your lungs to wreak havoc and to wage war with your body.
It's the fact that the particles, when burned, give off small amounts of radiation. Which you inhale. For several times a day, for years on end.
Mostly the chemicals, along with the smoke. Its also very hard to stop smoking when you take it up. They are also bad for your wallet, as you have to buy them constantly.
