What chemicals make cigarettes smell the way they do?
Answer:
A combination of chemicals, many of them polycyclic and downright nasty - combust these, and you get the sort of fumes that require working in a fume hood.
Tar. Nicotene.
It is a combination of 4000 chemicals, the heavy soot particles have a stench and the tar. The burning of the outer paper layer which also contains bleach gives of a cancerous smoke.
tobacco..duh
i need a cigarette!
tobacco
it contains nicotine which when incinerated gives that smell which is a combination of carbon and its oxides and nicotine vapours
Thousands of different chemicals, which is why different types of tobacco smell and taste different, because they are not all exactly the same chemically. Also, i have heard that some tobacco companies add chemicals to give cigarettes certain tastes, such as chocolate. They also add chemicals to keep them burning, so you dont have to re-light them. Apparently there are over 200 chemicals just for this purpose alone. These all affect the smell. Naming them all would take far too long, even if i could (which i cant).
