In 1964, Harvard University researchers found that cigarette smoke contains trace amounts of radioactive material polonium 210, also contain other radioactive substances. We are more worry about is not the level of polonium, but is that low-energy-ray radiation form the lighted cigarette.

If the cigarette was lit, the polonium 210 as the smoke is inhaled into the lungs. The deposition of polonium 210 in lung cells, and cell zero-touch, low-energy-ray radiation can damage cells, and induce cancer. So while the polonium 210 content in cigarettes is very low, but is sucked into the human body did not break out, over time, its impact is very substantial. Sauce 1 pack a day and a half of cigarettes, one year, the amount of radiation equivalent to doing 300 chest X-ray .
