4,000 Chemicals in Cigarettes

Pretty nice huh?

My husband's grandpa used to tell us how the tobacco man who delivered it many years ago, only brought enough pkgs. to be sold. When he came again, he always felt the pkgs of tobacco to see if it was still fresh. If not, he'd replace them.

Then, the chemical & preservatives came along.

My husband's grandpa always claimed that that's why so many people began getting cancer. Who knows but I'll bet it was a main contributor.

Re: 4,000 Chemicals in Cigarettes

That's scary Nom how can the cigarette companies be allowed to add harmful substances.

I used to smoke yeras ago but now have a reaction to smoke of any kind.
