Tobacco is actually not harmful to you, its the nicotine and the smoke that cause the cancer. Thats why even if you dont smoke, but hang out with others who do, its just as dangerous. Also in many countries Tobacco is as popular as corn, but its because like i said... ACTUAL TOBACCO IS NOT HARMFUL.

It is the nicotine that is addictive, and the tar and all the other chemicals the cigarette companies add to the tobacco that will kill you. Go to the link below for more details and facts about cigarettes.

It's what's in the smoke. They use all kinds of chemicals to make cigarettes, I don't know what they all are, but nicotine, tar, formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, fiberglass in the filters, and the list goes on............

I believe it is the tar that cakes onto your lungs. However, all of it seems to be deadly.
