He was killed with pellets of polonium-210 . Only a couple of hundred grams of this is produced in a reactor each year It is used as a trigger for a nuclear device. So where else can you find this rare and deadly radioctive element?

    Tobacco smoke eh? Then how come it takes smokers 30 years to die of lung cancer, and this former spy died in only 3 weeks?

    It is also found in some seafood. But the point being... The amounts of this stuff are WAY too low to cause death such as he experienced.

    Did you know that coca cola's Dasani brand bottled water contains minute amounts of Potassium Chloride? And do you know what Potassium Chloride is? It is "the death penalty" It is the chemical in lethal injections that stops the inmates heart.

    Much seafood contains mercury. And it is a well known fact that high doses of mercury are fatal to humans. With most toxic substances, the amount the person is exposed to is the determining factor as to whether it kills them.

    If you think this is from smoking, why are the airline companies sending out notices to over 3,000 passengers regarding health screening for radiation exposure?

    I beat you to it
