Approved List of Additives

LIST OF ADDITIVES USED IN MANUFACTURED CIGARETTES

Did someone say there’s tobacco leaf in cigarettes? There’s some, but not as much as you think. Most of it is made up of reprocessed tobacco, that’s treated with ammonia, chocolate etc . The situation is quite serious and someone should be saying something about what’s going on.

You may think there´s nothing in cigarettes besides tobacco, but you’d be wrong.

Below is a list of the ingredients used in manufactured tobacco. What’s worrying is that these cigarette additives have been approved by Government for our consumption. Here’s a similar list approved by the UK Government.

While these cigarette additives maybe safe to eat in foods, when burnt produce poisonous smoke.

What the hell are these people thinking? If you want additive free tobacco, there’s only one way you can get it; by growing your own.

This is the list of 599 additives in cigarettes submitted to the United States Department of Health and Human Services in 1994, by the five major US tobacco producers.
