I don't know the exact number but I was exposed to Carbon Monoxide , Nitrogen dioxide , Sulphur dioxide , Suspended particles, PM-10 particles less than 10 microns in size , Benzene ,Formaldehyde ,Polycyclic hydrocarbons , all proven carcinogens .
I knew an old man who used to work with asbestos plates. One time he was sawing some plates, and literally his whole garage was filled with dust.
The guy lived to be 98 years.
The fact that some people don't show symptoms after exposure to carcinogens/certain toxins, doesn't mean that it's safe for everybody to do so. Although I do think a great deal of substances are massively overhyped in their danger.
One thing about smoking, all pregnant women who smoke deserve a slap to the face. And more if they don't quit it. Same goes for alcohol.
