Is there Mercury in cigarettes

Answer 1

Cigarette smoke contains up to 11.5 nanograms of Mercury per cigarette in mainstream smoke and up to 16.6 nanograms of mercury per cigarette in side stream smoke. A nanogram is a billionth of a gram.

Mercury is a heavy metal that exists in many places throughout the earth. As a result, some of the food we eat contains varying trace levels of mercury. The same applies to tobacco.
