Yes, tobacco contains hydrogen cyanide and other dangerous gases. So do
BBQs, wood fires in your fireplace, birthday candles, car and power station
emissions and just about any other fire from material fires such as your
natural gas stove and oven. It is nearly impossible to have a fire and not
produce some amount of hydrogen cyanide.
But yes, scare tactics preying upon those ignorant of combustion chemistry is
the way to go to discourage smoking.
Never mind that no one has ever documented any smoker no matter how many
packs per day of dying of cyanide poisoning.
Scare tactics in the drugs ads were successful in getting a laugh from those
who had tried drugs. This is your brain on drugs. Hah! This is your body on
hydrogen cyanide from cigarettes. This can harm your unborn baby even though
it will never harm the smoker. You have to be kidding me. They really pay
campaign contributors to make this shit.
