From: Jeremy Hanson Volumes of research from around the world show time and again that secondhand smoke causes cancer, causes heart diasease, causes asthma, and kills tens of thousands of nonsmokers each year. Cigarette smoke pollution contains asbestos, benzene, carbon monoxide, and dozens of other proven cancer causing chemicals. There is no denying this fact.
No one would tolerate me going to First Ave and spraying asbestos or benzene into the air, yet we allow it becuase it's coming out of a cigarette?
Asbestos? I was unaware that cigarettes contained asbestos. How exactly do asbestos fibers get into cigarettes and how do they escape? It is not a chemical, it is a mineral fiber often found in old insulation and siding.
