Play the Haz-Match Game
Would you inhale carbon monoxide? Expose yourself to polonium-210? Ingest hydrogen cyanide? Is it OK to market a product that contains these deadly chemicals to our children?
Such a product already exists: It's called a cigarette.
Cigarettes are much more than tobacco rolled in paper. There are over 4,000 chemicals in a single puff of cigarette smoke, and at least 69 of them are known to cause cancer. Every time someone takes a puff they are exposed to carbon monoxide, polonium-210, hydrogen cyanide and thousands of other chemicals, including
- Benzene (found in gasoline),
- Formaldehyde (found in embalming fluid), and
- Toluene (used in paint thinner).
