A study by experts School of Public Health at the University of Maryland study found that cigarettes are entire factories for the production of bacteria plus all its other negative characteristics. Many of these bacteria can cause illness.
It is well known that in themselves cigarettes contain hundreds of toxic chemicals, "to help" our organism with the development of cancer, cardiovascular and other diseases. But it turns out, not only that smoking is dangerous. Scientists have conducted a DNA analysis of four popular brands of cigarettes (Camel, Kool, Lucky Strike and Marlboro), during which they found hundreds of types of bacteria - not less than toxic chemicals.
"We tested commercially available cigarettes in the presence of bacteria - Says Professor Amy Sapkota. - Even before the research we hypothetically assumed their presence, and experiments have fully confirmed our assumption. However, even we did not expect to find so many types of bacteria. "
Potentially these bacteria pose a threat of infection of various organs of the body, including the lungs, circulatory system and digestive tract. Among the bacteria found:
Acinetobacter - causes infections of the blood and lungs.
Bacillus - causes the formation of carbuncles, and food poisoning.
Burkholderia - is a cause of respiratory Infections .
