Some chemicals found in commercial cigarettes:
• Benzene
• Formaldehyde
• Ammonia
• Acetone

Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia patients often report that smoking helps alleviate their pain level. That is difficult to get past, because few things do ease the pain. But when weighed against the chemicals found in a commercial cigarette, the trade-off has a high price tag.
