4. Smoking and Acrylamide

Tobacco smoke is a significant source of acrylamide. Research shows acrylamide levels in smokers can be 50% higher than in nonsmokers. Other studies estimate the amount to be much higher, nearly 75%. Long-term exposure to the chemical increases health risks both for smokers and people who inhale secondhand tobacco smoke.
