  • Essay / The Pros and Cons of Cigarettes - 912

    There are also examples of people who may know someone who smokes every day of their life, while healthy as a horse, these results are not not typical. For example, “there are around 600 ingredients in cigarettes. When burned, they create over 7,000 chemicals. At least 69 of these chemicals are known to cause cancer, and many are toxic” (American Lung Cancer Association). The normal cigarette has more in common with your favorite household products than with nature. Like acetone, a normal ingredient used in nail polish remover. A poison that carries a warning not to ingest due to its toxic properties and, if ingested, to contact the poison control center. While a cigarette only offers a warning: it can lead to cancer and other health problems. There is no warning to contact the poison control center on the cigarette box. Even if a person has inhaled the vapors into their body. Not to mention the use of rat poison and butane gas.
