It is a ridiculous thing, and fit for a satire to persons of judgment, to see what shifts these formalists have, and what prospectives to make superficies to seem body, that hath depth and bulk. I speak of the north shore of Tahoe, where one can count the scales on a trout at a depth of a hundred and eighty feet.
Cigarettes and other forms of tobaccoâincluding cigars, pipe tobacco, snuff, and chewing tobaccoâcontain the addictive drug nicotine. Nicotine is readily absorbed into the bloodstream when a tobacco product is chewed, inhaled, or smoked. A typical smoker will take 10 puffs on a cigarette over the period of about 5 minutes that the cigarette is lit. Thus, a person who smokes about 1 pack (25 cigarettes) daily gets 250 âhitsâ of nicotine each day.
Nicotine is a very strong poison that can kill a human in less than an hour if even a small amount is injected into the blood-stream. Tobacco smoke contains very tiny amounts of nicotine that aren't deadly, but are still very bad for our health. Tobacco smoke also contains many other chemicals.In fact, it contains over 4,000 chemicals, many of which are very harmful to our bodies.n fact, it's just the opposite: smoking is the only legal consumer product that kills you when you use it exactly how it's meant to be used! That's pretty scary, isn't it? Cigarettes are made from tobacco. The tobacco plant is the only plant ever discovered to contain the drug called nicotine.
