(NaturalNews) It's no secret that inhaling cigarette smoke is hazardous to health. After all, cigarettes contain hundreds of cancer-causing chemicals, but it's when they're burned that the issue becomes horrifically magnified; the American Lung Association estimates that a cigarette produces upwards of 7,000 chemicals -- several of which are poisonous -- upon burning.

Dangerous ingredients such as formaldehyde, butane and carbon monoxide exist in cigarettes. That's right, people are bringing the likes of lighter and embalming fluid chemicals into their bloodstream with every puff. Is it any wonder that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 2.5 million non-smoking adults have died since 1964 due to secondhand smoke inhalation? Imagine people who are putting these hazardous chemicals in their body directly...which is what's happening with vaccines.

Cigarettes are no different from vaccines: They're both harmful to health

When you think about it, vaccines are not really any different from cigarette chemicals. Both cigarettes and vaccines contain harmful chemicals and often result in a person's death, yet both are protected by the money-hungry powers that be who hold tight to skewed studies, loopholes and clever public relations or advertising folks.

Why then, does there seem to be a massive contradictory mind set when it comes to cigarettes versus vaccines?

Many people are on board with the fact that cigarettes contain toxins that are not safe to inhale, right? There are posters warning of their ill-effects, support groups designed to help others kick the habit and doctors who urge patients to stop for the sake of their good health. Well, vaccines contain toxins too, so why are so many people on board in allowing -- almost mandating -- that humans continually be injected with such poisons?

Imagine if this were reversed and doctors encouraged people to purchase cigarettes, instead of receive a vaccine, at certain times of the year. What would it be like if those with compromised immune systems and the elderly were told to smoke a few packs daily to avoid getting an illness? Imagine stores with designated cigarette smoking areas near the pharmacy, where people wait in line to take a drag. Sounds utterly ludicrous, right? Well, society is essentially doing the same thing when people are told to give their children or themselves a vaccination and shoot toxins right into their bloodstream. The only difference is inhalation versus injection.

Chemicals galore and formaldehyde: What cigarettes and vaccines have in common

Let's take a look.

Cigarettes contain a long list of chemicals: Formaldehyde, butane, Cadmium, tar and toluene are just a few. These are the same chemicals that are also found in embalming fluids, lighter fluid, battery acid, the road pavement process and paint manufacturing, respectively.

Vaccines too, contain a myriad of poisons. According to the CDC, the list runs the gamut: formaldehyde, thimerosal (Influenza vaccine, Meningococcal), fetal bovine serum (Rotavirus), and hydrolyzed porcine gelatin (shingles). Just like cigarettes, vaccines contain a slew of ingredients that are simply not good for the human body. As most people are aware, formaldehyde is found in embalming fluids, while thimerosal is a mercury-containing compound that acts as a vaccine preservative.

Even more interesting is the fact that, upon closer examination, both cigarettes and certain vaccines contain the same exact harmful ingredient: Formaldehyde. It's in cigarettes and it's also found in Hep B, Influenza, Meningococcal, Polio, TD (tetanus and diphtheria) vaccines.

Formaldehyde is a colorless preservative which the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) warns against. They state that "Ingestion of formaldehyde can be fatal, and long-term exposure to low levels in the air or on the skin can cause asthma-like respiratory problems and skin irritation such as dermatitis and itching."

The public knows they shouldn't smoke because of the chemicals cigarettes contain. Yet people are encouraged -- by physicians, advertisements and employers -- to go ahead and have many of those same chemicals injected directly into their bloodstream by getting a vaccination.

Don't inhale chemicals like formaldehyde, just put it in your bloodstream instead. Sad as this statement is, it seems to be a widely-accepted thought process, one which pro-vaxxers need to seriously re-think.
