Why Ammonia is added to Cigarettes!

16 years ago 0 +0 / -0 2417

You know what Mercy, you are right. When I first quit smoking I hopped right on the internet and read about nicotine. That is how I found this site. (probably the same for alot of folks) My point is, knowing, really knowing what smoking does to a body just really turned me off from smoking. It did give me strenght to stay quit. Sure, I wanted to smoke. I didn't want to poison myself though..

Hi everyone, Hope this is informative for you. Ammonia added to commercially made cigarettes can boost the availability of nicotine up to 100 times, says a new study. The study supports the claim of many critics of the tobacco industry that ammonia enhances the effect of nicotine, a claim that tobacco companies have denied . Ammonia in Cigarettes Is Found to Boost Nicotine Impact 100 Times!!!!! Yes.....100 times. The process of increasing the impact of nicotine by adding ammonia is called "free-basing," which is similar to the chemical process used to heighten the effects of cocaine. Like cocaine, nicotine exists in two forms -- acid and base. When ammonia is added, the nicotine converts from acid to base form. The base form can vaporize more easily from the smoke particles into the gas phase, enabling it to deposit directly on the lung tissue and immediately diffuse throughout the body. Now...aren't you glad you quit????
