Toluene (in Cigs)

Toluene is one of many chemicals found in cigarettes.

Toluene (also known as methylbenzene or phenylmethane) is a clear, water-insoluble liquid that smells of paint thinners, see also Turpentine. Toluene is used as an octane booster in fuel, a solvent in paints, paint thinners, and chemical reactions, for rubber, printing, adhesives, lacquers, leather tanning, disinfectants, and to produce phenol and TNT. Toluene is also used in the embalming of corpses.

Toluene is believed to be a developmental toxicant, and is also suspected of being hazardous to health in other ways incl. as a cardiovascular or blood toxicant; gastrointestinal or liver toxicant ; immunotoxicant; kidney toxicant; neurotoxicant; reproductive toxicant; respiratory toxicant; and as a skin or toxicant.
