What are the contents of a cigarette? There's almost 600 ingredients in a cigarette. It is often claimed that many of these are used safely as food additives. One significant issue is that while all these chemical compounds have been approved as additives to food, they were not tested by burning. Burning changes the properties of chemicals. More than 4,000 chemical compounds are created by burning a cigarette.
