Besides tobacco, these are other ingredients in cigarette that can cause long-lasting harm to

most of body organs. despite knowing that smoking is bad because contain nicotine, which is
the main addictive ingredient in a cigarette, cigarettes still contain more than 4000 chemicals
and 40 of them are known carcinogens and 400 more are toxic to a certain degree. For example
is tar. Tar is present in any tobacco product that is burned. tar is well known by smoker because
the concentration ussualy showed in the pack of cigarette. but no matter how much
concentration of tar in cigarettes it will still affect the body as the same, Tar in cigarette smoke
paralyzes the cilia in the lungs and contributes to lung diseases such as emphysema, chronic
bronchitis, and lung cancer not only that, tar is also responsible for the brown stains on the
fingers and teeth of smokers. Other ingridient will be produced by cigarettes is Carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous, colorless and odorless gas that is produced
when incomplete burning of carbon, Carbon monoxide will be released by the smoke of
ciggarates and entering the body by breathing that smoke, when carbon monoxide is breathed
into the lungs, it binds with hemoglobin in red blood cells to make carboxyhemoglobin (COHb)
which is then transported into the bloodstream Once this happens, oxygen cannot bind with
receptors on the same cell. And because CO is much faster at binding with hemoglobin than
oxygen (about 200 times faster), it wins the spot on red blood cells. This process diminishes the
oxygen-carrying capacity in the bloodstream. And things that will happen in body is the body will
lack of oxygen, Lack of oxygen in cells also forces the heart to work harder to distribute oxygen
around the body, and finally it become major contribution in heart disease even death. In
Cigarettes also contain heavy metals. That metal compounds have potential to harm our health
when absorbed or inhaled. In very small amounts, some of these metals support life, but when
taken in large amounts, they can become toxic. Heavy Metals that proven its existence in
cigarettes is cadmium and arsenic, first metal is cadmium, cadmium is a primary compound in
battery and it still doesn,t recognized how things like cigarettes can contain this material,
although cadmium in cigarettes relatively low but it has proven that smokers typically have twice
as much cadmium in their bodies as nonsmokers. and This toxic metal not only causes cancer,
but also damages kidneys as well as the linings of the arteries. The other metal in cigarettes is
arsenic, arsenic ussualy can be found in rat poison. Arsenic finds its way into cigarette smoke
through some of the pesticides that are used in tobacco farming, arsenic can cause cancer as
well as damage the heart and its blood vessels. Over time, it accumulates in a smoker’s bodies.
It even worsens the effect of other chemicals by interfering with our body’s ability to repair our
DNA and giving worse health. The example that has given above is only a few of cigarettes
dangerious ingridient however there is still hundreads of chemical compound in cigarettes that
ready to worse the health of your body even killing you slowly.
