Tobacco is a tall, leafy plant, originally grown in South and Central America, but now
cultivated throughout the world. There are many species of tobacco but Nicotiana tabacumor
sometimes called common tobacco is preferred for producing present-day cigarettes.
Tobacco use has been recorded as early as 600-900 CE as carved drawings on stones, were
discovered in Mexico. American Indians smoked it for special religious occasions and
medical purposes only. They never smoked cigars every day.

According to the World Health

Organization (WHO), tobacco smoking and
chewing is the second leading cause of
death around the world. It is responsible
for the death of one in ten adults
worldwide approximately reaching about 5
million deaths in a year. It is estimated
that the death toll will rise to 10 million
each year by the year 2020.

 Each time a person puffs a cigarette or chews tobacco, more than 4,000 chemicals
come into his/her contact. All of these chemicals harm people in one way or another. In
studies conducted, 43 of these chemicals are known carcinogens. Carcinogens are
substances that cause cancer. Nicotine, the addictive drug found in tobacco products like
cigarettes is a poisonous stimulant. A stimulant drug increases central nervous system
(CNS) activity. The central nervous system controls all the body organs like the heart, lungs,
brain, and processes like heart rate, blood pressure rate, respiration rate, and more.
Every time a cigarette is lighted, smoke is emitted. There are three clouds of smoke
produced by cigarette smoking namely:

1. Mainstream Smoke- refers specifically to the smoke that a smoker directly inhales.
2. Sidestream Smoke- the smoke that comes out of the lighted end of a cigarette or
pipe. This is called second-hand smoke (SHS) or environmental tobacco smoke
(ETS). This is more dangerous than mainstream smoke.
3. Third-hand smoke- smoke left for a long time on sofa, beddings, pillow, and other
objects. This smoke also called residual tobacco smoke (RTS) settles along with
dust and can last for months. This smoke still contains harmful chemicals and
carcinogens.

The environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies second-hand smoke as a Group

A carcinogen. This means that cigarette smoke has substances known to cause cancer in
humans. Short exposures to second-hand smoke can also cause changes in a passive
smoker’s body. It makes the blood platelets stickier, adds friction to the blood vessels
causing damages to the linings, thus, increasing heart rate and performance.

Here are a few of the chemicals in tobacco smoke and other places they are found:

Acetone—found in nail polish remover

Acetic acid—an ingredient in hair dye
Ammonia—a common household cleaner
Arsenic—used in rat poison
Benzene—found in rubber cement and gasoline
Butane—used in lighter fluid
Cadmium—active component in battery acid
Carbon monoxide—released in car exhaust fumes
Formaldehyde—embalming fluid
Hexamine—found in barbecue lighter fluid
Lead—used in batteries
Naphthalene—an ingredient in mothballs
Methanol—a main component in rocket fuel
Nicotine—used as an insecticide
Tar—material for paving roads
Toluene—used to manufacture paint
