Why Do Tobacco Companies Add Over 200 Chemicals to Cigarretes?
Question by Kristian: Why do tobacco companies add over 200 chemicals to cigarretes?
Ive been wondering this for a while. The tobacco plant by itself is not nearly as harmful before these chemicals are added and the nicotine already causes addiction. So why would they add all these chemicals? it seems like all it does is cause the health problems of the user to be increased. So why add them at all?

There are chemicals in everything you put in your body. The only time you hear anyone whine about it is when they are in tobacco. It is not like the “chemicals” they “add” to tobacco are what causes cancer on their own or something.
The anti tobacco clowns feel like they need to exaggerate every possible thing they can to make cigarettes evil. So they say, oh how can you put those chemicals in your body….as they suck down their beer with pesticides, herbicides, oh and alcohol and eat corn chips made from genetically engineered corn by Monsanto that RoundUp can’t even kill. Then don’t give two thoughts when they give pesticides, hormones, and antibiotic spiked milk to their children. and the list goes on and on and on.
but cigarettes gets the focus when they are killers without anything added.
I have this thing about the truth. The truth is…well… the truth. Do the added stuff in cigarettes hurt people? Well duuh. Sometime read what those chemicals are. you will learn a couple of things. One thing is the you will find that they list from 5000 down to 50 chemicals just according to who writes it. Then you will find anti tobacco clowns break down every “chemical” down as far as they can just short of splitting elements. well no that’s not true they do break them down into elements. Lets take arsenic or lead. Both are in tobacco WOW dang now thats poison.. what moron would put arsenic in their body? you do and i do pretty much everything that grows in dirt has arsenic and lead, etc.
Bottom line is the truth is we get too many chemicals on a daily basis. Cigarettes are killers without any help.
