Chemicals are present in everything. Do you know how many chemicals make up the natural flavor of strawberries? More than a hundred! This is why artificial flavors don't taste quite the same - they don't contain ALL the chemicals present in the natural product. Chemicals are in both natural and artificial things. You're thinking that chemicals are only made by humans - that is wrong. Plants 'make' many chemicals we don't yet understand. Some are good, some are bad. It depends on the plant and the product.
Everyone else is wrong (except the second answer).
Although artificial stuff IS added, the most toxic chemicals - nicotine and hydrogen cyanide are NATURAL.
Also get over the idea that 'natural' and 'chemical' are mutually exclusive. Anything can be a chemical. Water is a chemical. Vitamins are chemicals.

They are added by the cigarette companies to make them burn better and longer. If you leave a cigarette lay in an ashtray it won't go out until it burns down to the end or the filter.

Because cigarettes aren't just tobacco. Tobacco is also treated.

That's because cigarette companies add chemicals to the cigarettes to entice customers to be addicted to them. They don't care that it kills people daily by the bus loads.

Everything has some sort of chemical composition, my friend.

I believe when they process them they put extra chemicals in them.
