There are 599 chemicals added to cigarettes and those in combo with nicotine 
create 4,000 chemicals when cigarettes burn.

So, if you want to inhale benzene, formaldehyde, ammonia, acetone, arsenic 
and hydrogen cyanide, just to name a few, well, I think that might be what 
makes the modern cigarette a tad more harmful than a pipe full of raw 
tobacco that is passed around amongs a large group of folks.
