It's difficult to find a comprehensive list of all the chemicals in cigarettes, and thus their smoke, due to the fact that the number is over 4,000. 50-60 of these chemicals are carcinogens known to cause cancer and many others are poisonous. Just a few of these include tar, formaldehyde (a substance used for embalming dead bodies), ammonia, acetone, nicotine (the thing that makes smoking so addictive), arsenic, and hydrogen cyanide (commonly used to kill rats).
