Reply to "Smoke Ring -- the real story"

Nitrites are just about every where.
You can even get a "smoke ring" in your gas fired oven at home from the gas fumes.
They can even be carried over in a processing plant or butcher shop if the cured meat part of the plant/shop isn't far enough away from the fresh meat section.
Also, cross "contamination" can occur if a small shop doesn,t clean the work area well and goes from making cured product to fresh.
Another source of nitrite is fertilizers used on farms.
