TOBACCO COMPANIES have invested heavily in advanced research for much of the last fifty years, to formulate a product that creates greater addiction, stimulates pleasure zones in the brain, and is socially acceptable. The next series looks at some of this R&D. View in LinkedIn

UNUSUAL RECOMMENDATION. "If you have a weapon you can use the filter to clean the weapon or wipe your weapon down. There are up to nine chemicals in the filter, that when dipped in water, activate to keep steel from from rusting or corroding." Uses of the cigarette filter. http://beforeitsnews.com/self-sufficiency/2012/07/cigarettes-a-survival-tool-2431856.html View in LinkedIn

"UNINTENTIONAL" TOBACCO ADDITIVES BY WHO, include soil bacteria and fungi, including 18 very toxic mycotoxins, pesticides, suckercides, and insecticides. Written by a former tobacco VP of R&D. Completely unregulated. This could be an exposé waiting to happen. https://lnkd.in/dCewiUV View in LinkedIn

US SECRET INGREDIENTS. "Tobacco companies are protected from fully disclosing their ingredients to the public." They are required to list them with the Secretary of the DHHS, but they are neither brand nor company specific, but rather a master list, which is a confidential trade secret. There are no safety tests of additives required. https://lnkd.in/dCewiUV View in LinkedIn

CHEMICALS IN TOBACCO. Including: cyanides (poison), ammonia (toilet cleaner), methane (sewer gas), arsenic (poison), toluene (industrial solvent), hexamine (BBQ lighter), cadmium (batteries), DDT (insecticide), formaldehyde (entombing agent), and urea (urine). http://www.tricountycessation.org/tobaccofacts/Cigarette-Ingredients.html View in LinkedIn

CHEMICALS IN TOBACCO. "While these ingredients are approved as additives for foods, they were not tested by burning them, and it is the burning of many of these substances which changes ." http://www.tricountycessation.org/tobaccofacts/Cigarette-Ingredients.html View in LinkedIn

OVER 4,000 CHEMICALS IN TOBACCO. "Submitted by the five major American cigarette companies to the Dept. of Health and Human Services in April of 1994, this list of ingredients had long been kept a secret." http://www.tricountycessation.org/tobaccofacts/Cigarette-Ingredients.html View in LinkedIn

OVER 4,000 CHEMICALS IN TOBACCO. "There are over 4,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke and at least 69 of those chemicals are known to cause cancer. The list of 599 additives approved by the US Government for use in the manufacture of cigarettes is something every smoker should see." http://www.tricountycessation.org/tobaccofacts/Cigarette-Ingredients.html View in LinkedIn

MODERN CIGARETTES = 10% ADDITIVES. "More additives have been introduced, and current cigarettes may contain up to 10 per cent additives by weight. Some of these additives may make addiction to tobacco as a source of nicotine more likely. They may affect addictiveness of the product or simply make smoking more attractive." http://ec.europa.eu/health/scientific_committees/opinions_layman/tobacco/en/ View in LinkedIn

THE CIGARETTE ADDITIVE STORY is rather gobsmacking (excuse the English phrase). The sheer cynical ingenuity of educated brains figuring out how to candy-coat poison is a worthy read in human futility and self-destruction.
