• Nicotine: a poisonous and highly addictive
stimulant found in all tobacco products, which
dulls taste buds
Tar- a sticky, dark, thick fluid that is formed when
tobacco is burned; major cause of lung cancer
• Gives cigarettes their flavor
• Sticks to the airways and lungs, and paralyzes
and destroys cilia- tiny hairs that line the
respiratory tract and sweeps mucus towards the
mouth to be eliminated.
