Cigarette Smoke Extract Produces Superoxide in Aqueous Media by Reacting with Bicarbonate

The toxicity of cigarette smoke (CS) is largely attributed to its ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Reportedly, CS generates superoxide in cell culture systems by stimulating the cells to produce superoxide and through direct chemical reactions with components of the culture media....
