Best Answer

Scientists say tobacco companies add propylene glycol to cigarettes because propylene glycol does not occur naturally in tobacco, but it is found in cigarettes.

It is added to cigarettes and other tobacco products to help them keep their moisutre content steady. No one wants to light a cigarette and have it erupt in flames or take a dip of dry snuff.
