A lot of things are added to even our food that are bad for us. The FDA should have put a stop to this a long time ago. There is no need of putting these things in tobacco ( a lot of it was to kill tobacco bugs at one time)
The cigarette manufacturers are the biggest lobbyist in Washington, which has a lot to do with why government hasn't put a stop to the added ingredients.
