While a cigarette burns, wastes become concentrated at the end.
The most harmful cigarette products for health are the tar (which causes lung cancer), carbon monoxide and nicotine (CVD) and certain components of the gas and particles that favor the occurrence of lung diseases such as disease chronic airflow obstruction or COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
