Can a plural noun be followed by “due to it”? [closed]

Is it correct to say, for example

“You would put your health at risk by smoking cigarettes, due to it containing toxic chemicals.”

Neither smoking nor your health can possibly be thought to be described as containing toxic chemicals. A verb can't contain a noun, nor can the type of noun that health belongs to.

In the example sentence, only cigarettes can be described in that way.

Since cigarettes is a plural word, the pronoun needs to be them.

You would put your health at risk by smoking cigarettes, due to them ^(cigarettes)containing toxic chemicals.

1. If the pronoun is to refer to the act of smoking, a description that's applicable to an action would need to be used:

You would put your health at risk by smoking cigarettes, due to it ^(smoking)involving toxic chemicals.

2. If the pronoun is to refer to your health, a description that's applicable to that noun would need to be used:

You would put your health at risk by smoking cigarettes, due to it ^{(your health)}being adversely affected by toxic chemicals.
