Why are so many unnecessary chemicals put into Cigarettes? - General

Yeah probably any organic substance brought in contact with heat (BBQ, fries, etc.) produces a shitload of weird stuff...

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;21667177]This is extremely misleading.[/QUOTE] not really. It is fact that they use those ingredients

lol, because nobody who smokes gives a shit

[QUOTE=decilling;21667232]not really. It is fact that they use those ingredients[/QUOTE] could you also list how much percent of those chemicals are present in one cigarette?

I enjoy my e-cigarettes. Let's me smoke at my desk without ruining my computer. [img_thumb]http://www.e-cigarettepedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/e-cigarette-mechanics-copy-1024x627.jpg[/img_thumb]

[QUOTE=decilling;21667232]not really. It is fact that they use those ingredients[/QUOTE] Look at those ingredients and tell me that's not misleading. Do you know anything about chemistry? Also, there's no concentrations given with that list.

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;21667360]Look at those ingredients and tell me that's not misleading. Do you know anything about chemistry? Also, there's no concentrations given with that list.[/QUOTE] Aye, it's a general list, but I assume it'd be as low as parts per billion. Regardless, the continuous and regular inhalation of carcinogens can't be good for you, and the health effects are evidently detrimental, cigarettes can't actually be justified, they make the government richer.

Just more cancer with your cancer.

Carbon Oxide. It's very, very toxic but gives you a feeling, sort of being high. Just don't smoke.

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;21667360]Look at those ingredients and tell me that's not misleading. Do you know anything about chemistry?

[QUOTE=werner;21667335]I like to smoke outside at fresh air[/QUOTE] You can smoke any where with these. Even on planes if they don't get to uppity with you.

[QUOTE=slinkman;21667581]You can smoke any where with these. Even on planes if they don't get to uppity with you.[/QUOTE] It's because they smell nice.

shit it smells of propaganda in here polonium? come on

[QUOTE=Publius;21666853]I'm on these at the moment. As far as I know, cigars & cigarillos are 100% tobacco leaf. [IMG]http://www.simplycigars.co.uk/simplycom/images/cafe_creme_filter.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] I've had those exact ones, i'm not a regular smoker but they are so much better than cigarettes.

The only thing they didn't add is human shit and uranium

I find Cigarette boxs very ironic.

[QUOTE=The_Lizard_Xing;21666804]Yes, this is why the Native Americans didn't get cancer.[/QUOTE] Native Americans didn't get cancer because they only smoked occasionally, usually for ritualistic reasons. They aren't like people today that smoke a pack a day, every day, all year. Tobacco back then also wasn't as potent (same with marijuana, but that was much later) it was cultivated and genetically modified to be super potent with more nicotine, etc. [QUOTE=Killuah;21667069]Weird that 20 year old dude I knew when I worked in a hospital started smoking in 8th grade and died two weeks later by lung cancer. I had to transport him down to the morgue. Saddest moment of my life. He told me that he wanted to try to go to college when he beats the cancer. I was 21 that time.[/QUOTE] What. So this guy was 20 years old in 8th grade and died two weeks after he started smoking from lung cancer? Anyway, I've known so many people that have died from lung cancer from smoking that I really can't care anymore. I've tried warning every single one of them and telling them stories about other friends or family I had that died from smoking related cancer and they never listen. Every single one of them told me at some point in time "Oh, that's not going to be me." Anyone that personally asks me about smoking, I just tell them they're probably going to die sooner or later, or get a smoking related disease like COPD.

We can argue for days, facts speaks louder than words. cigarettes aren't good for you. Or better, they have some lassative and relaxing effects, but it doesnt worth the risks of dying of lung cancer.

Brb going to have a smoke.

[QUOTE=Egevened;21667703]shit it smells of propaganda in here polonium? come on[/QUOTE] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polonium#Tobacco[/url]

they're not really added, it's just stuff that gets released when they burn tobacco for the most part.

Nicotine to make you addicted, other chemicals for "flavour". It's one of those things that confuses me. Why people would even want to smoke cigarettes is beyond me, considering it's nothing but a little bit of tobacco covered in chemicals.

Because smokers are jokers
