Two isomeric species of benzopyrene are benzo[a]pyrene and the less common benzo[e]pyrene. (wikipedia.org)
Benzopyrenes are harmful because they form carcinogenic and mutagenic metabolites (such as (+)-benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide from benzo[a]pyrene) which intercalate into DNA, interfering with transcription. (wikipedia.org)
Polycyclic aromatic hyd3

Tobacco4
Studies have also found that nicotine and tobacco-specific compounds (N -nitrosamines and benzopyrene) may accumulate in melanin-containing human tissues and affect melanogenesis. (medscape.com)
Melanin can bind to many different compounds, including nicotine and benzopyrene present in the tobacco smoke, and these substances can stimulate melanocytes to produce melanin. (medscape.com)
Some experiments prove that aggressive pollutants of tobacco smoke (benzopyrene, peroxynitrite, acrolein, cyanides, peroxides, etc.) can cause direct damage to endothelial cells due to expression of adhesion molecules on their surface and intensification of lipid peroxidation. (intechopen.com)
Cannabis smoke contains many of the same carcinogens as tobacco smoke, including greater concentrations of certain aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzopyrene, prompting concerns that chronic marijuana inhalation may be a risk factor for tobacco-use related cancers. (drugwarrant.com)

A carcinogen found in cigarettes known as benzopyrene which has been found to deplete vitamin A in the lungs and livers of rats is the likely cause of smoking induced vitamin A deficiency in humans. (lifeextension.com)
Compounds1
Just to put things in perspective, even the darkest roast coffee might only max out at a fraction of a nanogram of benzopyrene per cup-considered to be "the most toxic" of these compounds-whereas a single medium portion of grilled chicken could have over 1,000 times more. (nutritionfacts.org)

Products2
After January 1, 2014, the maximum benzopyrene level in smoked sprats will remain at the current level, whereas for all other smoked fish products the maximum benzopyrene level will be reduced more than twofold, according to a draft bill approved by the European Commission's expert task force on environment and industrial contamination in foodstuffs.
