How many chemicals from one puff of a cigarette?

Hmmm, my cigarette pack claims there is 10mg of carbon monoxide. I'm guessing that's per cigarette, although it doesn't say. Note that it does differ per cigarette brand and type. I once heard light cigarettes contain less tar but more carbon monoxide. The entire expression seems a little vague to me though. Carbon monoxide (CO) is the result of an incomplete burn of carbon (or carbon based materials... i.e. anything organic). A complete burn results in Carbon dioxide (the fabled CO2). The interesting part to me would be the amount of CO in cigarette-smoke, considering that that's what a person inhales (maybe the cigarette pack lists that??). But the amount of CO in the smoke depends on how complete the burn of the tobacco is (in fact, I would expect CO in the cigarette itself to burn to CO2 when smoking!). A burn is more complete in an oxygen rich environment. I doubt whether "confined space with no ventilation" would make a tremendous difference to the complete/incomplete burn due to the small amount of burnt material in a cigarette. But I'm guessing that smoking at high altitudes (less dense air) causes more CO inhalation then smoking at sea level.

How bad is a cigarette?

a cigarette is very bad because there are so much chemicals theres like 4,000 chemical in only one cigarette and and in a cigarette there is rat cement and other things. ___________________________________________________________________ they can damage your lungs, cause cancer, make you high (being high may feel good but it destroys cells in your brain) KILL YOU and fill your lungs with tar, THERE ARE MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY more things that they WILL do to you if you smoke them. and when you get started, its very hard to stop ****** There are MILLIONS of chemicals in EVERY human body. There are not 4,000 chemicals in ONLY ONE cigarette. Rat 'cement' may have been detected in a few individual cigarettes, probably counterfeit ones, along with the vast majority of all the other 4,000. In a post-mortem, it is very difficult to tell the lungs of a smoker from those of a non-smoker. The 'black smoker's lung' you may have been shown at school would have been a diseased sheep's lung. The pharmaceutical industry are currently researching the use of nicotine to treat various conditions including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. In no way am I advocating smoking but PLEASE bring back science and TRUTH.
