What are "herbal" cigarettes made of and what is the difference on their impact on your health?
A friend recently started smoking what she calls "herbal cigarettes". She tells me they are completely harmless, and only smokes them when she's nervous. I know they aren't marijuana because they don't smell the same (I have some crazy neighbors, so I'd know) but they don't look the same as regular cigarettes (they don't have the orange filter) and she says they aren't tobacco/nicotine. What are they? and I KNOW they can't possibly be completely harmless. So what is the difference between a herbal cigarette and a regular cigarette, particular as far as impact on health?

they are still harmful. All the most harmful chemicals in cigarettes occur when burning the leaves. So even tho its not tobacco, its still producing those toxic chemicals while burning. The only advantage to smoking herbal cigarettes is that they dont contain the nicotine. Nicotine in itself wont kill u but its what keeps u addicted. But u could effectively smoke cat nip and still get lung cancer and/or other ailments.
