These include: Tar - a mixture of dangerous chemicals Arsenic - used in wood preservatives/ rat poison Benzene - an industrial solvent, refined from crude oil Cadmium - used in batteries Ethanol - used in anti-freeze Formaldehyde - used in mortuaries to embalm dead bodies Polonium-210 - a highly radioactive element Chromium - used to manufacture dye, paints and alloys Acrolein - formerly used as a chemical weapon Hydrogen cyanide - used as an industrial pesticide Carbon Monoxide - contained in exhaust fumes Ammonia - used to make fertilisers and explosives Smoking damages nearly every organ of the body
To quantify the strength of the evidence, we calculated the ROS for each smokingoutcome association as the signed value of the log(BPRF) averaged between the 15th and 85th percentiles of observed exposure levels for each outcome

Nonetheless, health considerations associated with vaping point toward its importance of being chosen carefully and used responsibly
This process produces excess ROS and reactive nitric oxide (RNS), which may lead to an oxidation/antioxidant imbalance [35, 36]
Bonuses are another core consideration
