After You Quit
The Anatomy of a Cigar Smoke
Cigar smoke is “enriched” with more than four-thousand five hundred toxic substances for you to enjoy and lead your healthy body to an earlier trip to the grave. It is a production unit for noxious chemicals which love your lungs and the lungs of other people around you who inhale your secondhand smoke.
Out of the total number of these poisonous substances, there are at least 69 of which are identified to cause cancer.
The most notorious of these chemicals include:
1. Formaldehyde – which is a fluid used for embalming to preserve dead bodies.
2. Tar – deposited in the lungs and destroy the alveoli and bronchioles of each lung thereby hindering the process of breathing.
3. Benzene – a petrol additive which is a known carcinogen and has been linked to leukemia.
4. Arsenic – usually a component of rat poison
5. Nicotine – an addictive substance which is attributed to the development of addiction to smoking
6. Carbon monoxide – an odorless gas which comes out of an exhaust of a car and becomes rapidly fatal in large amounts.
7. Hydrogen Cyanide – the gas which was used in gas chambers to poison prisoners.
