Chemicals in tobacco smoke:

Acetaldehyde - this chemical is used in resins and glues.
It is believed to be a carcinogen. 

Acetone - this chemical is used in solvents. 
Long-term exposure can damage the liver and kidneys.

Acrolein - commonly used in herbicides and polyester resins.
It is also used in chemical warfare. Acrolein is an ingredient
in tear gas. It is very poisonous and irritates the eyes and
upper respiratory tract.

Acrylonitrile - also known as vynil cyanide. Experts believe it
is a human carcinogen. Used in synthetic resins, rubber and plastics.

1-aminonaphthalene - in ingredient in weed killers. A known carcinogen.

2-aminonaphthalene - Causes bladder cancer. Banned in industrial uses.

Ammonia - Known to cause asthma and raise blood pressure.

Benzene - Used in gasoline. Causes several cancers, including leukemia

Benzo[a]pyrene - this chemical is found in coal tar pitch,
and creosote. It is a known carcinogen, especially for lung and
skin cancers. It can also undermine human fertility.

1,3-Butadiene - it is used in latex, rubber and neoprene products.
Experts believe it is most likely a carcinogen.

Butyraldehyde - this chemical affects the lining of the lungs
and nose. It is used in solvents and resins. It is a powerful
inhalation irritant.

Cadmium - a known carcinogen. It damages the brain, kidneys
and liver. Cadmium is used in non-corrosive metal coatings,
storage batteries, pigments, and bearings.

Catechol - it elevates blood pressure and irritates the upper
respiratory tract. It can also cause dermatitis. 
Used in oils, inks and dyes.

Chromium - known to cause lung cancer. It is used in wood
treatment, wood preservatives, metal plating and alloys.

Cresol - acute inhalation can cause throat, nasal and upper
respiratory irritation. It is used in disinfectants and solvents.

Crotonaldehyde - a warning agent in fuel gasses. Experts say it messes
up the human immune system. It can also cause chromosomal changes.

Formaldehyde - part of the resin used in foam insulation, plywood,
fiberboard and particleboard. It can cause nasal cancer, as well as
damaging the digestive system, skin and lungs.

Hydrogen Cyanide - some states use this chemical in their gas chambers
for executions. It weakens the lungs and causes fatigue, headaches
and nausea. Used to produce acrylic plastics and resins.

Hydroquinone - has a detrimental effect on the central nervous system.
Also causes eye injuries and skin irritation. Used in varnishes,
motor fuels and paints.

Isoprene - similar to 1,3-butadiene. It causes skin, eye and
mucous membrane irritation. It is used in rubber.

Lead - A known carcinogen particularly toxic to children. Damages the
nerves in the brain, as well as the kidneys and the human reproductive
system. Lead intake can also cause stomach problems and anemia. 

Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) - depresses the human nervous system,
irritates the eyes, nose and throat. Used in solvents.

Nickel - a known carcinogen, nickel also causes bronchial asthma
and upper respiratory irritation.

Nitric Oxide - this is a major contributor to smog and acid rain.
It is made by gasoline combustion. Linked to a higher risk of
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease.

NNN, NNK, and NAT - NNN and NNK are known carcinogens. The three
compounds are unique to tobacco. NNN may also cause reproductive
problems. NNK is closely linked to lung cancer risk.

Phenol - this highly toxic substance is harmful for the central
nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, kidneys,
and liver. Used in resins in plywood and construction materials.

Propionaldehyde - irritates the respiratory system, skin and eyes.
Used as a disinfectant.

Pyridine - irritates the eyes and upper respiratory tract. Causes
nervousness, headaches and nausea. Experts say it might cause
liver damage. Used in solvents.

Quinoline - it is used for stopping corrosion and also as a solvent
for resins. It is a severe eye irritant, is harmful to the liver,
and causes genetic mutations. Experts believe it may be a carcinogen.

Resorcinol - irritates the eyes and skin. Used in resins, adhesives
(glue) and laminates.

Styrene - irritates the eyes, may slow down reflexes, and causes headaches.
Linked to a higher risk of leukemia. Used in fiberglass, pipes, plastic
and insulation materials.

Toluene - causes confusion, memory loss, nausea, weakness, anorexia,
and drunken movements. Associated with permanent brain damage.
Used in resins, glues, oils, and solvents.

Nicotine - this is not carcinogenic. However, it is highly addictive.
Smokers find it very hard to quit because they are hooked on the
nicotine. If cigarettes and other tobacco products had no nicotine,
the number of people who smoke every day would drop drastically.
Without nicotine, the tobacco industry would collapse.

Carbon Monoxide - A poisonous gas with no smell or taste. The body
finds it hard to differentiate carbon monoxide from oxygen and
absorbs it into the bloodstream. Faulty boilers emit dangerous
carbon monoxide, as do car exhausts. If there is enough carbon
monoxide around you and you inhale it, you can go into a coma
and die. Carbon monoxide decreases muscle and heart function,
it causes fatigue, weakness, and dizziness.

Tar - consists of several cancer-causing chemicals. When a smoker
inhales cigarette smoke, 70% of the tar remains in the lungs.
Try the handkerchief test. Fill the mouth with smoke, don't inhale,
and blow the smoke through the handkerchief. There will be a sticky,
brown stain on the cloth. Do this again, but this time inhale and
then blow the smoke through the cloth, there will only be a very
faint light brown stain.

Mmmm mmmm!  Deelicious!! 

Have you tried that handkerchief test?
("70% of the tar remains in the lungs")

CDC Fact Sheet excerpts:

"Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death...
causing about one of every five deaths in the United States each year."

Resulting in more than 480,000 premature deaths annually

[That's nearly half a million per year, in the U.S. alone.
 More U.S. deaths than in ALL 4 years of World War II.]

"Life expectancy for smokers is at least 10 years shorter
than for nonsmokers."

"Quitting smoking before the age of 40 reduces the risk of dying
"from smoking-related disease by about 90%."

(I quit cold-turkey at age 35.)
