All of these can be drawn into the body when a smoker inhale. More than 4,000 chemicals found in cigarettes, in which 200 are poisonous and 43 other types can cause cancer of the body. While the main toxins in cigarettes are tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide.

a) Nicotine

Nicotine is found naturally in tobacco plants, has no odor and no color. Nicotine is an addictive substance that can cause addiction and affects the nerves and blood circulation. This substance is a carcinogen, and can lead to lung cancer.

Nicotine enters the body in small droplets bentuki which is based on tar in cigarette smoke particles. When inhaled into the lungs, nicotine substances enter quickly into the blood stream until it reaches the brain within about 10 seconds. Only in 5 to 10 seconds, nicotine has been able to spread to all parts of the body of smokers.

Smoking also can increase the amount of carbon monoxide in the lungs. Carbon mono oxide is more easily bound to hemoglobin than oxygen, thus reducing the capacity of oxygen in the blood. Therefore, the blood of many people who take in CO, will decrease the oxygen transport means for the world and people can die due to carbon mono oxide poisoning. On a smoker is not going to happen CO poisoning, but the effect of CO is inhaled by the smoker with little by little, slowly but surely will have a negative influence on airway and blood vessels.
