Top 10 Ingredients in Cigarettes that are Harmful

1. Nicotine

Number 1 on our list of the top 10 ingredients in cigarettes that are harmful is nicotine. This chemical stimulant in a cigarette is the reason smokers find it excruciatingly difficult to stop puffing on cigarettes. It provides a sensation of pleasure and energy when it reaches your brain, but this feeling dissipates almost immediately, leaving you tired, so you move in for the next puff. It has been connected to a number of adverse effects, on which there is no solid evidence and research is ongoing. But the reason for it being on our list is its addictive nature. Since nicotine is the reason that smokers find it impossible to quit and continue to harm themselves through this activity, we have considered it an extremely harmful substance. The withdrawal symptoms include a huge craving for nicotine, anxiety, headaches and hunger. The reason addicts prefer nicotine in cigarettes is because it reaches your brain within 10 seconds, whereas other sources of nicotine such as nicotine patches take a while, and are hence less pleasurable.
