When the smoker draws on the cigarette, cigar or pipe the rush of air passing through the lit end suddenly brings it to life with a hot red glow and the temperature jumps up to over 1,000 to 1,200 degrees. Burning is far more efficient at 1,000 degrees than at 250 degrees. At the higher temperatures many of the lethal chemical parts are burned up so there are less of them in the smoke coming off the burning tobacco. Therefore, side stream smoke has up to 10 times more tar, 10 times more carbon monoxide, 50 times more benzenes, in fact many, many more times all of the thousands of poisonous chemical substances that have been analyzed out of tobacco smoke. |
