Tar is the black sticky substance used to pave roads and streets.
Also found in the leaves of snuff and covers the lungs and alveoli of smokers.
The four components of cigarettes
There are four major components in cigarette smoke: tar (which is the most toxic), nicotine, carbon monoxide and irritants.
These toxins accumulate not only in the mouth, vocal cords, throat and lungs, but also in the kidneys, bladder, uterus and ovaries in women.
Tar with irritants are responsible for lung cancer, chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Other effects are that prevents enough oxygen absorbing and paralyzes the cilia in the trachea and thus dust particles are not removed from the airways.
This sticky substance is also the cause of stains on teeth and skin of the fingers. Take a look at your fingers. If you look closely you’ll find these spots. If you can not see, on the fingers you use to hold the cigarette and smell.
