A Marlboro cigarette is made up of many mysterious “artificial flavors,” but there are also many known ingredients. Of course we know that we are smoking tobacco, but what else are we inhaling? The following is a list of ingredients, as well as information on what these ingredients are.

Make no mistake, just because an ingredient is safe to eat doesn’t mean it should be inhaled as smoke, but here is a list of the safer side of a Marlboro’s content:

Water, sugar, liquorice extract, cocoa and carob

Philip Morris wants you to see these treats on your list in hopes that you will not only be surprised but also find a sense of relief. Are these contents crucial to the flavor and smoothness of that Marlboro cigarette? I don’t know about you, but I never got on and inhaled with the wonderful sweet taste of cupcakes in my mouth. Let’s take a look at what might be drowning out the taste of cocoa products.

Diammonium phosphate: Other uses: fertilizer, fire retardant, precipitation control in dyed wool, flux for solder tin. Diammonium phosphate is added to a cigarette as a “nicotine enhancer.” Mmmm … sounds delicious!

Propylene Glycol – A toxin that is a form of mineral oil. A controversial ingredient that is supposedly safe is small doses. Propylene Glycol is a clear liquid that is used in antifreeze and de-icer solutions.

Glycerol: used to improve the moisture retention characteristics of tobacco.

Ammonium Hydroxide – A solution of ammonia in water. It is used in household cleaning agents and furniture stains. Ammonia is used to accelerate the release of nicotine. It releases nicotine in the same way as crack.

The above is a very small list of what the cigarette manufacturer really wants you to know and makes it clear and easy to find. If this is what the public is urged to know, imagine what else you are smoking. Enough to make you quit? What if you consider quitting smoking?
