Toxic Pollutants
Tobacco smoke air pollution is a mixture of more than 4,000 chemical by-products of tobacco combustion, 500 of which are in the gas phase (References 1 and 4). Of these byproducts of secondhand smoke, 172 are known toxic substances, many of which are regulated under existing clean air laws (see list in Table 9.1 of Reference 1).
