7.  Tar – particles suspended in tobacco smoke.
Tar is sticky and brown, and stains teeth,
fingernails and lung tissue. It contains the
carcinogen benzo(a)pyrene that is known to
trigger tumour development (cancer).
 Carbon monoxide – this odourless gas is fatal
in large doses because it takes the place of
oxygen in the blood.
 Hydrogen cyanide – the lungs contain tiny
hairs (cilia) that help to clean the lungs by
moving foreign substances out. Hydrogen
cyanide stops this lung clearance system from
working properly. knip

8.  Free radicals – these highly reactive chemicals
can damage the heart muscles and blood
vessels. They react with cholesterol, leading to
the build-up of fatty material on artery walls.
Their actions lead to heart disease, stroke and
blood vessel disease.
 Metals –contains dangerous and carcinogenic
metals including arsenic, cadmium and lead.
 Radioactive compounds –contains radioactive

13. Nicotine is the addictive drug in
tobacco smoke that causes smokers to
continue to smoke. Addicted smokers
need enough nicotine over a day to
‘feel normal’ – to satisfy cravings or
control their mood. How much
nicotine a smoker needs determines
how much smoke they are likely to
inhale, no matter what type of
cigarette they smoke. knip
