What is in Second-Hand Tobacco Smoke?

Enjoying a relaxing meal out or canteen break at work?

Sitting comfortably and ready to enjoy a satisfying starter of ant poison, insecticide, anti-freeze and rocket fuel?

Don't miss out on the next course of aromatic stink bombs, nail varnish remover, cleaning mix, petrol and exhaust fumes, dry cleaning and embalming fluid.

Before washing it all down with a liberal helping of radioactive gas, road surface tar and some potent power station emissions.

The news is that for both smokers and non-smokers alike there is no choice in the matter here, it's a set menu.

For those toxic substances listed above are just a few of the poisons contained within cigarettes which are inhaled directly by smokers and indirectly by non-smokers exposed to second-hand smoke.

The tobacco industry do not dispute the contents of their cigarettes but they will not advertise the fact that the same poisons used to make their products are also utilised by heavy industry.

And even if they did it wouldn't help non-smokers who don't even get to see the packet, which provides the toxic fumes they contain.
To help you out here is a list of the chemicals and their more common uses. Then you decided whether smoking is a matter of choice!
