None. The smoke is too heavy, the big particles settle to the ground and are absorbed into the soil. The co2 from the plant (tobacco) is not any different than burning ethanol.

Yes. You are a heavy smoker. You should seriously think about quitting. Smoking does nothing but make you unhealthy. Some smoker facts for you: each pack of cigarettes you smoke takes away about 3 1/2 hours of your life. Think about it. A pack a day, 3 1/2 hours from your life per pack. That's a lot of time taken away from you. I'm only trying to help you.

Sorry can't be bothered to do some research and do the arithmetic but it takes an awful lot of cigarettes to have the same weight as a gallon of petrol and by simple logic a similar amount of carbon emitted into the atmosphere. In any event the carbon in cigarettes comes from a bio source, that is the tobacco plant absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Smoking is carbon neutral.

I am allergic to cigarette smoke the only time it ever bothers me is when I am in a closed area with someone, say a room or a car. I think there are things doing worse damage to our air like cars and burning trash. I'm not saying I'm for smoking, because obviously I'm not, I can't be. What I am saying is that while these people are doing A LOT of damage to themselves and others they are not the leading cause for our polluted air.

Depending on their weight , I would say average by time the cancer has ravaged their body they only weigh a few pounds so when they are decomposing underground I would say the amount of damage would be minimal , far less than a ton ...

Probably less than someone who drives their kids to a school that is a 20 minute walk away.

I offset this by buying carbon credits from my eco company that buys a tomato plant and sticks it in the yard.

Not as much as one cows flatulence. So unless your a vegetarian, you cannot judge smokers for environment problems.

Insignificant. Less than starting your car and driving around the block.
