Everyone knows that smoking can cause cancer when you get older, but did you know that also has negative effects on your body right now? A cigarette contains about 4000 chemicals, and at least 43 of the chemicals cause cancer in humans. Some of the other chemicals found in poisons. Some of the worst are:

* Nicotine: a deadly poison
* Arsenic: used in rat poison
* Methane: a component of rocket fuel
* Ammonia: found in floor cleaner
* Cadmium: used in batteries
* Carbon Monoxide: part of the toxic waste of the car
* Formaldehyde: used to preserve (keep in perfect condition) body tissues
* Butane: lighter fluid
* Hydrogen Cyanide: the poison used in gas chambers

Each time you inhale smoke from a cigarette, small amounts of these chemicals get into your blood through your lungs. They travel to all parts of your body, where they can cause damage.
