Ethanol is sometimes written C2H5OH. Acetylsalicylic acid is C9H8O4, and caffeine is C8H10N4O2. A cigarette contains various carbon compounds including nicotine (C10H14N2).

30K: I couldn't name all 7 but it had to be S.

50K: Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid & I shamefully forget most chemistry but formula given is not an acid. Dunno what chem carcinogenic smoke ingredient has. Dunno formula for caffeine. Leaning toward alcohol but 50/50.
