why are so many extra chemicals and things put in cigarettes?
In: Other
While additives are used to improve taste and shelf life, most of the laundry list of chemicals you read about in smoking warnings are produced just by burning the tobacco itself. As a general rule, if you heat up any kind of organic matter, you get lots of nasty chemicals. Cigarettes aren’t much worse than any other plant matter, it’s just that most people aren’t addicted to inhaling burning hay ten times a day.
