Dangers of Herbal Cigarettes

Even though what is consumed is claimed to be herbal cigarettes, all cigarettes still have a negative impact on health, especially during the corona virus outbreak. Adapted from Alodokter, herbal cigarettes themselves do not use tobacco, so they do not cause addiction.

Some of the ingredients in herbal cigarettes contain cloves, rose buds, bagasse, lotus leaves, lettuce, ginseng, jasmine, and so on.

"Although they do not contain nicotine and tobacco, herbal cigarettes contain plants or vegetables which, if burned, will produce carbon dioxide, tar and even a series of other poisons," as quoted by Alodokter.

Some of these ingredients can make the lungs of smokers and people inhaling their smoke threatened by various toxins from herbal cigarettes. So ordinary cigarettes and herbal cigarettes are the same danger, lowering the quality of the lungs.
