many different products.

diesel and other fuel oils and asphalt. This is done by heating the crude oil, which is then
pumped to the bottom of a tall steel tube called a fractionating tower. This tower is
divided into compartments all the way up of a number of different ingredients and each
of these boils and vaporizes at a different temperature. The vapors at the bottom of the
tower are the hottest, and those at the different vapors condense, or turn into liquid, on
the trays at different levels

Cigarette smokers are said to have a good chance of getting various fatal diseases.
But, I think that other peoples tobacco smoke to increase the chances of non-smokers
getting a wide range of cancers.
First, although passive smokers inhale less tobacco smoke, the researchers point out
that the smoke they breathe in is richer in many toxic chemicals. There is, for example,
4
three times as much as benzo - apyrene, six times as much toluene and more than 50

the long run.
Secondly, the recent research indicated that the risk of getting cancers not normally
associated with smoking also rose among passive smokers. The risk of leukemia rose 6
8 times and the risk of cervical cancer increased 3 4 times.
Thirdly, past studies have found that the by products of cigarette smoke such as
nicotine and thiocynanate, turn up in the blood, urine and saliva of non smoking adults,
children and fetuses that have been exposed to smokers. These substances are the main
causes of various cancers.

contracting cancer than people with no such exposure.
