As a substitute teacher in middle and high school I once had a health class with film-strip which stated one of the by-products of tobacco combustion is radioactive polonium. It a product that I've read tobacco can be grown on radioactive mine tailings in the US since it's not regulated for production including additives such as sugar producing addictive aldehydes. It was reported to be in tobacco in other news sources.
