Along with some gasses, it is the “tar” – a short name for the condensed solid particles in smoke made of several thousand solid chemicals – that does the most damage; the minuscule amounts of nicotine in a single cigarette damages to a far lesser degree. (See below) Tar contains about 4,000 known chemicals, including poisons and cancer-causing substances. Heart, circulatory, lung disease and cancers, emphysema and chronic bronchitis are linked with these chemicals. Nicotine long touted as the villain is only one of many.
