Answer:

Hi

Explanation:

Cigarette smoke can contain high levels of carbon monoxide. Hydrogen cyanide was used to kill people in the gas chambers. It can be found in cigarette smoke. Nicotine is a poison used in pesticides and is the addictive element in cigarettes.  Inhaling the harmful smoke it  can inflame your lungs and airway, causing them to swell and block oxygen. This can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome and respiratory failure. Smoke inhalation commonly happens when you get trapped in a contained area, such as a kitchen or home, near a fire.
