   The presence of polonium in tobacco smoke has been known since the early 1960s. Some of the world’s biggest tobacco firms researched ways to remove the substance—to no avail—over a 40-year period but never published the results.
   .
   Radioactive polonium-210 contained in phosphate fertilizers is absorbed by the roots of plants (such as tobacco) and stored in its tissues. Tobacco plants fertilized by rock phosphates contain polonium-210, which emits alpha radiation estimated to cause about 11,700 lung cancer deaths annually worldwide.

   Radish you say I shouldn’t smoke?
   Pipe tobacco is now being rolled into cigarettes. To save the users the the 5 dollars for a regular pack of smokes.
   Is pipe tobacco any less radioactive?

   Didn’t they do a Movie back in the 50’s and a remake in the 90’s using Polonium as the Murder weapon?

   Isn’t ‘swamp soccer’ an oxymoron? Usually, they are very low-scoring games.

   Polonium poisoning isn’t as dramatic as the illustration in the panel. It’s causes a lingering case of radiation sickness that could last for weeks. Polonium 210 has a half-life of 138 days, so if you’re worried about your tobacco, just let it sit for a few years before you use it to let the polonium decay (it turns to lead 206 – isn’t that healthy?.

   I got the information by looking up polonium on Wikileaks, there is a lot of info there. I don’t know about pipe tobacco but I recall hearing once the tobacco companies put a lot of fertilizer on tobacco that contained natural polonium. It shows up in some fish also.

    No, but the russians used it to kill a dissident reporter in the west.
