    In the processing of bacon, it is necessary to use smoke from various materials such as wood chips to simmer to smoke, so as to improve its antiseptic ability, and make the food produce a special aroma. Smoked gas contains carcinogen benzopyrene, which can easily contaminate food and must be vigilant. As for benzopyrene, the Japanese have experimented on rabbits. Experiments showed that when benzopyrene was applied to the ears of rabbits, tumors grew on the ears of rabbits on the 40th day. Studies have shown that every time the benzopyrene content in the living environment increases by 1%, the mortality rate of lung cancer rises by 5%.
