What chemicals are missing that would be present in a normal cigarette? Thanks.And by the way, don‘t give me the whole smoking will rot you lungs and ruin your life routine. I‘m eighteen, I know the risks, and you are really being rude to presume to tell me what to do with my life.
Actually, the average cigarette has a lot of chemicals added to the tobacco. There are a few main things people worry about. The first is that it is an extremely common practice to add outright dangerous chemicals - for example, ammonium hydride (ammonia) is added as a catalyst for the nicotine. This means that you're smoking ammonia so the nicotine has a greater effect and is therefore more addictive. Also, people have shown an astounding amount of herbicides and pesticides. Also, most (if not all) cigarettes contain some form of sugar, generally molasses. Lastly, most commercial tobacco has perfumes added to it. Unfortunately, tobacco is probably the least of your worries.
It means that it is pure tobacco and doesn't have all of the crazy chemical additives that big cigarette companies put into it to get you even more addicted. Your best bet is to get the most natural cigs you can or try those really cool electronic cigarettes with different flavors.
It means the cigarette contains only concentrations of the various elements as they naturally occur in the tobacco. Most cigarettes are 'fortified' with a long list of chemicals. They're there for taste, burn (cigarettes are designed to keep burning so you use them up faster than you would if you let them go out while you're not actively smoking one), and to enhance the addictive properties.
