Teens and Tobacco

You're educated, you're smart, and you're aware. You know what's in and you know what's out. But do you know the whole story about what's really in cigarettes? With teen smoking on the rise, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, needs your help to let students know the real deal about tobacco.

>> Did you know that cigarettes contain formaldehyde–the same stuff used to preserve dead frogs?
>> Did you know that the same cyanide found in rat poison is available in the cigarette smoke nearest you–whether you're a smoker or just hanging around people who smoke?
>> And how about the nicotine in cigarettes? You probably already know that it's addictive, but did you know that it's also a potent insecticide found in bug spray?
