DON'T SMOKE
Take a look at
what tobacco companies call their “secret ingredients.” You
won't be finding any of these in your Grandma's apple pie recipes. This is the
SHORT LIST!

Formaldehyde: Is used to embalm dead bodies and embalm frogs in biology Toluene: An embalming glue DDT/Dieldrin: Insecticides

Comprehensive List of Additives in American CigarettesIn addition to tobacco, which contains nicotine, the following 599 ingredients have been identified in tobacco industry documents as being added to tobacco in the manufacturing of cigarettes by the five major American cigarette manufacturing companies. While some of these chemicals, such as sugars, vanilla extract, prune juice, and vinegar, are generally recognized as safe when used in food products, all produce numerous additional chemical compounds when burned. None, probably, is more deadly than nicotine, however.
