Are herbal cigarettes safe?

Simple answer is NO!!! Whatever you smoke,you are introducing,foreign matter,products of combustion,and chemicals into your lungs.As these are very sensitive organs,you stand a very good chance of damaging them very badly.Grit your teeth,kick the habit,and live longer.....................your family deserve that!!!!(By the way,I am an ex-smoker!!!) Cheers mucker, Take it easy,Rob

There's loads of different herbal based products here http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Health/Substance_Abuse/Smoking_Cessation/Other/ (not sure if that's allowed but it lists loads of products relevant to your question).\n\nHypnotherapy has worked for many people I know although never for a long period, thing is if you can get past those first few weeks and remain determined it should work.

I don't know that there is any evidence of this.  I think the danger is in inhaling the smoke of burning leaves.  \n\nIf there is any danger in your job, I would think that there would be more danger in the chemical additives used then the tobacco itself.

I have always thought it should be legal.  A lot less people would be messing up their livers with prescription meds, if they could just smoke a joint - for the many ailments it is helpful with.\n\nBesides cancer, AIDS, arthritis, etc. canibus helps with migraines, PMS, menstrual cramps, anxiety, aggression - even carpal tunnel syndrome, and any type of pain.\n\nYes, my son owns almost all rapper CDs, and it does seem that each is quite one-dimensional.

Indian Herbal Products are alright but only some of them. The ones taken from trusted sources are okay.

Sounds dangerous. You might want to try something else first. If you haven't tried an all natural product, this is a great one to use, it's on ebay and is really cheap. Just search for: Natural Stop Smoking Program (Herbal & Aromatherapy)

well i use em very often, and i am still alive!\n\nPoppers are small bottles filled with liquid chemicals called alkyl nitrites. They were used at the turn of the century for people suffering from chest pains. Nitrites like Amyl Nitrite dilate the blood vessels and allow more blood to get to the heart.\n\nThey're usually sniffed straight from the bottle and deliver a short, sharp high. Poppers are sold in sex shops, clubs and gay bars.\n\n\n\nNitrites originally came as small glass capsules that were popped open, hence the name. Nowadays they're available in small bottles with brand names like Ram, Thrust and Rock Hard. One big sniff and you can feel the effects. They fade after a couple of minutes.\n\n\n£2 - £5 per bottle\n\n\nNot really an issue with Poppers. \n\n\nAn initial head rush that lasts a couple of minutes.\nSniffing poppers during sex can make orgasms feel like they last longer. And some people say it makes their sexual organs feel massive. \nMay help relax anal sphincter muscles.\nBut there is a flip side:\n\nThe effects don't last long and can leave people feeling sick, faint and weak. Especially if taken while dancing.\nSome people say they have trouble getting an erection after sniffing poppers.\nPoppers can give you the Mother of all headaches.\nSome people get a rash around their mouth. \n\nPoppers aren't physically or psychologically addictive.\n\n\nPoppers are toxic and can kill you if you swallow them.\nTaking poppers is a dangerous idea for anyone with chest or heart problems, anaemia or glaucoma.\nIt's very dangerous to take poppers with viagra or if you're on medication to reduce your blood pressure as it can cause it to drop so low it is dangerous.\nDon't get them on your skin, poppers burn.\nAnd they're highly flammable. Some people like to sniff cigarettes that have been dipped in a bottle of Poppers. Lighting those cigarettes could take your eyebrows off.

John above there is quite right - a little can become a lot!\n\nThis is true of everything.  Are you the kind of person who "can't eat just one" potato chip?  If so, watch out!  It can escalate.  Now, I think a black 'n mild is a little cigar...which you don't inhale.  cigars and pipes are safeR than cigarettes but can still lead to oral cancer.  This is like condoms are safeR than unprotected sex\n\n(sidebar: ....you could have one break and there's evidence people can tranmit  condyloma (genital warts!) while wearing a condom, so it's all relative!)\n\nAll that said, I think IF you smoke a little cigar once a month, (and don't go to cigarettes or crack or something else, and don't go to 3x/day) the overwhelming ODDS are that something ELSE will kill you before those cigars.  Heart disease, an unrelated cancer, a bus......  I may go to Dentist Hell for saying that, but it's the same w/ many things..unless you're talking about a SUPER addictive drug (crack, heroin, meth) a little here and there PROBABLY won't kill you.  I, for one, still drink Coke now and then and don't always remember to floss, so....\n\nBut exercise, gum, yoga are all better.  yay!

No less unhealthy than it would be for her to inhale Nicotine\nfrom cigarettes. In other words: "Yes!"

Here is a quote from expert testimony regarding tobacco products:\n\n"Let me begin by emphasizing three fundamental facts: (1) all tobacco products are hazardous, (2) there is no safe level of tobacco use, and (3) the only proven way to reduce the enormous burden of disease and death due to tobacco use is to prevent its use and to help users quit."\n\nMy personal testimony as an ex-smoker is that although I am now obese (not from quitting smoking), I can breathe better, and have better endurance than 20 years ago, when I was not overweight and smoking.  The improvement in the way I feel was worth the agony of quitting, and I quit many times.  I am not even talking about health risks, but just the improvement in my day to day functioning.

Dont use herbal remedies unless they are prescribed from a fully qualified herbalist and only after said herbalist asks you for a full medical history many people use herbs assuming they are safe but a lot of herbs can cause adverse reactions in people especially those with diabetes and heart conditions

I bet there's nothing illegal about it. They say it's "herb" that you can smoke, they never say specifically what kind of "herb".

There's herbal remedies but they mainly just work in the very early stages of pregnancy. My favorite is the Vitamin C one because it's the safest since you can't exactly die of a Vitamin C overdose. If I were to become pregnant, I would try this first and if it didn't work, I would just go pay for an abortion.

Quitting smoking is the hardest thing to do.  I quit 4 months ago.  I smoked 2-4 packs a day for over 40 years.  I never considered quitting until they took me to the hospital by ambulance.  I have 1st stage emphysema which is a miracle but will live with the consequences of smoking for the rest of my life.  I wish you well.  I can not imagine smoking one cigarette a day.  It seems a bit ridiculous.  However, if you smoke one cigarette a day, it seems that would not necessarily be bad for you.  Tobacco is an herb and has medicinal properties, but you would have to grow the tobacco yourself, since each cigarette produced by our huge tobacco companies has been enhanced with over an hundred chemicals which go directly to the brain and cause the craving and addiction which has proven too difficult for some people to quit even to the point of death.  I loved smoking for most of my life but have been devastated at the horror of coming "off" of this drug for the last 4 months but am determined to remain smoke free.  I have tried the commit lozenges, nicotrol gum, a nicotrol inhaler and the patch and am using the gum right now.  Hopefully, I will be able to get off of all nicotine by the end of this year but in any case, I am no longer polluting my environment and causing grave harm to my health.  There is a huge pool of resources available to "quitters".  I have used them all, even down to a counselor that I got by calling 1-800-nobutts.  Again, I wish you well.

I don't have much experience with Hooka Tabacy but having quit smoking I can say that NOTHING you smoke is good for you. Smoking anything can lead you back to cigarettes again. Stay away from it.

Yes, but people tend not to inhale cigar smoke as deeply as cigarette smoke so it is minimally less of a problem.  You still run the risk of cancer.  And they make your breath and clothes smell awful.  Big turn-off.
