The Dhaka Times Desk We know that cigarettes are made from tobacco leaves. If it is said that cigarettes will be made from rat excrement, then many people will be surprised.
Cigarettes are made from rat excrement. Do you know what's in the cigarettes you pay for? You will simply answer that cigarettes are made from tobacco. But now it is heard that many cigarettes contain rat droppings! A research institute has said such an amazing thing. Especially the cheap cigarettes available in the market have been tested to contain rat droppings.
Professor Simon Chapman of the University of Sydney gave a terrifying information. He said that pig's blood is used in cigarette filters. Citing a study in the Netherlands, he said that the study showed that pig blood was used in 185 cigarette factories. Hemoglobin, an important component of blood, is used in cigarette filters. It is sometimes heard that even dead flies are used to make these cigarettes.
Simon Chapman also said that cigarette manufacturers always keep the ingredients they use a secret. They keep saying that it is their business and they will never disclose the details of their business. And so the issue has been complicated.
According to Simon Chapman, the study in the Netherlands also said that hemoglobin from pig blood is used in cigarette filters. A cigarette manufacturer in Greece has already admitted to using pig hemoglobin.
Whether it's pig's blood or rat's excrement, does it matter to smokers? At least no one can say for sure. References: mirror.co.uk
