The fact is that in American school. we were all taught not to smoke. and the way they tried to tell you was that cigarette companies are intentionally putting like 500 substances they list as if they were additives. when the fact is that as tobacco is combusted the plant is decomposed into all those substances from the heat of being ignited.

The leaves get decomposed into all of the substances, and you get the stuff that makes up smoke. it gets deposited in your lungs as tar. which directly damages your lungs . and somewhere in that smoke is the nicotine that wasn’t destroyed from the heat of the flame.
