What the...

Smokers...


For all you frugal smokers out there (guilty) you know that smell when you smoke half of you cigarette and put it back in the box... you know that smell, well there's one way of eliminating that horrid stench (thanks to Mama Jen). HOW? after you extinguish that half ciggy make sure you blow out all the smoke before you put it back in the box case. I tried it and it does eliminate that smell, well not all but much much better. So thanks Mama Jen for the tip, try it and see if you notice anything.

What's in cigarette smoke?
There are more than 4000 chemicals in tobacco smoke. Many of these chemicals are poisonous and at least 43 of them are carcinogenic (cause cancer). The three major chemicals in tobacco smoke are:

  • Nicotine—the chemical on which smokers become dependent
  • Tar—which is released when a cigarette burns
  • Carbon monoxide (CO)—a colourless, odourless and very toxic gas that is taken up more readily by the lungs than oxygen. Smokers typically have high levels of CO in the blood.
