Messenger Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I posted a similar topic on Caffeine, but this one is even more eye opening. The big national scare right now is Radiation from the Fukushima reactors in Japan - although no substantial radiation has been found here in the USA. While some are buying nuke pills, still others smoke at the same time! Sometimes we need to be worried about the things that can really affect us... and for those of us that don Link to comment

Messenger Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 This one is interesting as well, but I would trust wikipedia over the EPA any day.

The presence of polonium-210 in mainstream cigarette smoke has been experimentally measured at levels of 0.0263 Link to comment
