Do you think smoking is harmful to the environment? Not at all? What are you thinking?! If you say yes just because of its smoke, techincally you are correct but think again. Everytime someone smokes, a lot goes into a cigarette. There are nearly 4000 chemicals in a cigarette. Atleast 43 of the ingredients are carcinogenic (cancer causing). Go to the website in our links section for the 43 ingredients. You will be amazed at what the ingredients are. One of the ingredients is cadmium, a car battery fluid. So, to all smokers, think twice before you smoke. Anyway back to the point, when people try to produce these chemicals. A large hectre of land has to be cleared before growing these plants. How do they do it? Burn the land, of course. This is the same for other poisons such as opium. More on this can be seen in our links section once again, with the header, "Drug-trafficking...". Thank you for reading this post and we hope you take the time to visit the links.
