Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carbon monoxide is the most toxic gas in tobacco smoke as it binds to hemoglobin in the red blood cells, reducing their ability to carry oxygen to the body's cells. This can lead to tissue damage and organ failure. Acetone and ammonia are also present in tobacco smoke, but they are not as toxic as carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide is a natural byproduct of respiration and not considered toxic in low concentrations.
