List of cigarette smoke carcinogens

Typical tobacco packaging warning message about the health effect of smoking tobacco The front of a 20 pack of Marlboro Red cigarettes sold in New Zealand. Brazil's third batch of graphic images (since replaced), mandatory on all cigarette packs. Philippines. Graphic tobacco packaging warning messages from 2016 to 2018.

Commercial tobacco smoke is a mixture of more than 5,000 chemicals.[1] A 2011 report in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) lists 65 carcinogens or possible carcinogens: "Our list of hazardous smoke components includes all nine components reported in mainstream cigarette smoke that are known human carcinogens (IARC Group I carcinogens), as well as all nine components that are probably carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 2A carcinogens). In addition, it contains 34 of the 48 components that are possibly carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 2B carcinogens)."[1]
