    This document describes an experiment to show pollutants in cigarette smoke. The apparatus was set up with a cigarette, vacuum pump, glass wool, and bicarbonate indicator. When the cigarette was lit and the pump started, the glass wool turned brown and the indicator changed from red to yellow, showing that cigarette smoke contains pollutants like carbon dioxide. The conclusion is that cigarette smoke is a source of air pollution that can harm health and lungs.
