There are more than 4,000 ingredients in a cigarette other than tobacco. In fact, the same toxins and chemicals found in tobacco products can also be found in the air around toxic waste dumps. Common additives include yeast, wine, caffeine, beeswax and chocolate. While some of these ingredients and chemicals are safe in foods, they were toxic and some formed into carcinogens, a cancer-causing substance, when heated or burned. Here are some other ingredients:
Acetone: – nail polish remover

There are more than 500 known chemical additives in cigarettes. Some of these "ingredients" include carbon dioxide, chlorophyll, caramel, and coffee extract. While these compounds are often included for flavoring purposes, their chemical properties become carcinogenic when burned, producing smoke. Cigarette smoking has been linked to increased risk of developing cancers of the mouth, lip, and breast; stomach cancer; bladder cancer; and emphysema. From my own experience with family members who had died from diseases linked to long-term smoking exposure, I hope that you don't want to smoke.

They asked what's in a cigarette, NOT why you shouldn't do them. They never said they were, they asked. Who knows if it's because they want to know what they're putting into themselves or if it's for like research?! Answer the question correctly if you're going to answer it at all.
Ok, this site should help you :).
