If your question is "what is in cigarettes" then this is the answer
Cigarettes contain nicotine, and tar. These will destroy the lung tissue, thus leading to respiratory disorders like lung cancer. Smoking also can lead to constriction of the blood vessels leading to cardiovascular problems. The best thing to do DONT SMOKE.
