Is smoking tobacco vegan?

[ArielBoosh]

I am 29 now and have been smoking since the age of 15. I would seriously struggled if I found out my smoking was harming others.

Obviously I understand the risks to people around my smoking. And they accept me as a smoker. I just worry if I am harming animals too. Please spare me the anti smoking jargon, you will just make me want a cigarette.

Great question, I don't actually know the answer to this or if there is an answer.

I do know that there's apparently thousands of chemicals in cigarettes but I'm not entirely sure what they are as cigarette companies don't really list what's inside a cigarette do they?

I honestly don't know, it may be worth asking the manufacture of the cigarettes you smoke? I'd imagine they'd be able to tell you what's inside them.

That's a really helpful video. I gave up smoking twenty odd years ago and still fancy one occasionally. Not anymore. I can officially say I'm cured. Thank you Bite Size Vegan.
