Resource: http://www.quit-smoking-stop.com/harmful-chemicals-in-cigarettes.html

I hope you had already learned that cigarettes or smoking is bad in general. There over 4,000 chemicals in cigarettes and 50 are confirmed to cause cancer. There are a few important chemicals in cigarettes that we can all relate to. Cigarettes are also one of the few products capable of selling that has been led to cause cancer and kill people over time. One of the chemicals is Benzene. Benzene is a colorless cyclic hydrocarbon from coal and petroleum. Another chemical is formaldehyde. It is a colorless liquid that is used to preserve the dead. The chemical is highly poisonous and yet it is found in cigarettes. Ammonia is found as well, and it is mostly found in dry cleaning liquids. They use it as a flavoring. Another related chemical is Acetone. Acetone is found in nail polish remover. Another important chemical, possibly the most important is nicotine. It is used as insecticide and one of the most addictive chemicals known to man. It can be used medically or a deadly poison, and it is what causes the addiction.

I believe this is an informative web page. I think it gives the known or related chemicals someone could easily relate to what everyday product. I believe a more informed citizen is a better citizen, I think this is a good article for the internet.
