Amount of nicotine ingested


Nicotine is the chemical that you are addicted to. It's not that harmful in itself, just very very addictive.

Amount of carbon monoxide inhaled


Carbon monoxide is the same gas that car exhausts pump out. Do you really want to be breathing it in?

100 milligrams of arsenic, accumulated over a two month period is enough to kill. Arsenic can also cause cancer.
