I quit smoking almost 5 years ago now and as a true "cowboy" I only smoked marlboro REDS yuck.. like a pack+ a day too! so ten years of thrashing my lungs and who knows what else. I use chloraseptic PENOL/oral anesthetic
with 1.4% phenol when my throught hurts from coughing up a pack a day!
so WTF is phenol??? yes i looked.
Phenol is a manufactured substance. It is a colorless-to-white solid when pure. The commercial product is a liquid. It has sickeningly sweet and tarry odor.
You can taste and smell it at levels lower than those that are associated with harmful effects. Phenol evaporates more slowly than water, and a moderate amount can form a solution with water. Phenol can catch fire.
Phenol is used primarily in the formation of phenolic resins. It is also used in the manufacture of nylon and other synthetic fibers. It is also used in slimicides (chemicals that kill bacteria and fungi in slimes), as a disinfectant, as an antiseptic, and in medicinal preparations, such as mouthwash and sore throat lozenges.
sounds like a good thing EY'

I don't think so!
How might I be exposed to phenol?
* You may be exposed to phenol if you work with or manufacture it.
* You may be exposed to very low levels in your home because it is found in a number of products, including some medicines, lotions, and ointments.
* Low levels of phenol are found in some foods, including smoked summer sausage, fried chicken, mountain cheese, and some species of fish.
* Phenol enters the lungs when you inhale [b]tobacco smoke[b].
* It can be present in low levels in air and drinking water.
Will I ever be free?
