Three of the main components of environmental tobacco smoke are:

• Nicotine - an addictive drug as powerful as cocaine or heroin. It alters the brain as well as a person's behaviour and mood. It is also used in insecticides.
• Tar - a cancer causing substance that damages the lungs.
• Carbon monoxide - a gas that replaces some of the oxygen in the body that is needed for the lungs to function properly. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas, which is also found in car exhaust fumes.

Some of the carcinogenic substances found in tobacco smoke are:

• Tar - used to tarmac roads.
• Arsenic - very potent deadly poison.
• Cadmium and nickel - used in batteries.
• Vinyl chloride - used to make vinyl products. Short-term exposure causes dizziness, headaches and tiredness. Long-term exposure can lead to cancer and liver damage.
• Creosote - a component of tar. If inhaled it can cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
• Formaldehyde - a preservative substance used in forensic labs. It causes cancer in humans and in animals.
• Polonium 210 - a radioactive substance that requires special handling techniques when studied in labs. It can cause cancer of the liver and bladder, stomach ulcers, leukaemia amongst other diseases.
