I'm skeptical of that list of additives.  I suspect it's more 
accurate to say that those are substances known to have been added to 
cigarette tobacco, not that they are present in every cigarette.  
Apple juice?  Carrot oil?  Guar gum?  I guess it's nice to know that 
my tobacco has a lower freezing point because of the guar gum.  Maple 
syrup and pineapple juice concentrate, with a side of raisin juice 
and salt, please.
