What's in a cigarette?

Cigarette smoking is addictive and causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema and other serious diseases in smokers.

We print health warnings on cigarette packets and cartons (whether local and national legislation requires this or not), and we've also provided links to detailed information about the numerous health effects of smoking on this site.

Smokers should also know what is in a cigarette. Throughout this section you'll find links to information on:

ingredients added to cigarettes, including non-tobacco materials
tar and nicotine yields
