      Dear Greyfury,
      Please read my answer below. This answer is from a website which i found because i am curious about your question too, (link below).

      There are approximately 600 ingredients in cigarettes. When burned, they create more than 7,000 chemicals. At least 69 of these chemicals are known to cause cancer, and many are poisonous.

      Many of these chemicals also are found in consumer products, but these products have warning labels. While the public is warned about the danger of the poisons in these products, there is no such warning for the toxins in tobacco cigarettes.

      I think i will tell my dad to quit smoking sooner.
