Common Questions and Answers about Dangers of smoking herbs
smoking
Hi there,
My daughter and her BF had a roomate that smoked that stuff. It's not good. Apparently it is herbs with something that they call synthetic THC. A bunch of chemicals. Here in Utah they are making it illegal because it's considered hazerdous. Google "smoking spice dangers" and there is alot of stuff on it. I think it is telling that there is a push in some states to legalize pot, and yet they are banning that stuff right and left.
COPD is Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which a chronic disease and causes symptoms of cough, breathlessness and wheezing. The commonest cause for COPD is smoking. The lungs age with smoking as in comparison to the person’s age. If you stop smoking at this point, the lungs are not damaged any further, though the damage that has already been done cannot be reversed. So, giving up smoking would be first step towards controlling COPD.
I think its both positive and negative. It teaches the kids the dangers of smoking/second hand smoke and the problems it can cause as well as the result od death. As for the negative, the kids with the smoking patents are now worrying about losing their parent(s) due to the day care. Im an ex smoker myself.
Hookah smoke contains high levels of toxic compounds, including tar, carbon monoxide, heavy metals and cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens). In fact, hookah smokers are exposed to more carbon monoxide and smoke than are cigarette smokers.
As with cigarette smoking, hookah smoking is linked to lung and oral cancers, heart disease, and other serious illnesses.
Hookah smoking delivers about the same amount of nicotine as cigarette smoking, possibly leading to tobacco dependence.
Re-reading what I wrote and feel a bit daft! I do agree with everyone else here! I was ignorant myself of the dangers of it, so am more educated now thanks to the good people here. I feel stupid for stating that it's legal.
Alcohol is legal. It almost killed me and TG I haven't had a drink for several years. I wish I could take my post down. I agree that it is something to be more concerned with, and feel like my post was way too blase.
Hi. I'm just curious in people's opinions of something. I am an ex smoker. No longer have the habit. My child's daycare have been taught that smoking kills people etc.. so move away from people if they're smoking. A lot of parents from the daycare have come in abusing the child care Centre as they're smokers and there young children keep telling them they're going to die.
t start taking the herbs right away but after taking it and stopping coughin the process of my cough lasted about a month. I have started to take herbs again but it is not working. I have not gotten the herbs from the same doctor as last time and am wondering if I took the same herbs again if that would help but am also concerned if it might be another health related problem although I am not @ risk for any other health problems.
You certainly have a number of the classic symptoms for hypo t, and your FT4 was on the very low end of the range. I would stop taking any more of the herbs and go back and ask that FT 3 also be tested (free T3), because it is 4 times as potent as FT4 and largely regulates metabolism. Doctors do not usually check FT3 because they assume that if T4 is okay, then T3 will also be okay. That is not always the case, plus your FT4 is on the very low end of its range already.
Is smoking hookah like tobacco or can you smoke hookah without it having tobacco? Does it have the same effects as cigarettes?
Hi ladies I have a question, me and my hubby used to smoke hookah alot but ever since I found I was pregnant I obviously stopped, I am 34wks pregnant and my hubby recently started Smoking hookah again but the VAPORIZOR one, the one that you smoke out the pen.
If it has a warning label, obviously discontinue it! The thing with herbs and other natural remedies . . . they interact with our system just like drugs do. Being natural or herbal doesn't mean they have no dangers. So, I wouldn't take anything unless my doctor okayed it, herbal or otherwise. And then if you have been using it since pregnant, just let your doctor know. good luck!
but not deadly. the DANGERS of w/d from cold turkey are no greater than taper. the difference is in the severity of the symptoms. if you google withdrawals from opiates, you will see it says there is no danger to w/ds. the symptoms may make you want to die...but it dont happen. thats being said, it is always good to see your dr, if you have that option. they can prescribe certain meds that make the symptoms more bearable. good luck.
re most likely laid up, I would like to suggest a website called whyquit.com. While your recovering, you can educate yourself on the dangers of smoking. You are very young and quitting now will be a lot easier than 10 or 20 years from now.
To answer your question simply though; YES, one or two cigs a day will hurt you!
Good Luck! :)

haha you are smoking the reef out of it i assume.. i know if i take a few good rips of some good herbs i get hot flashes and sweat a little, and if you werent used to it i could see you getting a headache.. again the best advice would be to not smoke the reefer but if your going to try taking smaller hits.
It's doubtful smoking anything will give you a sinus infection, but you do sound like you might have one. I don't smoke anything, but I get the occasional sinus infection because of allergies. On the other hand, smoking too much of anything is a pollutant, as it doesn't burn completely. Just like the exhaust from your car. Everything in moderation, and a water pipe is much safer than joints, since you're not burning paper, and eating it is safer still.
So, here I am, for the probably 4th time tapering off a 8-10/day hydro habit.
I am wondering...is this anything like quitting smoking? I smoked for 23 years, and could not imagine life without my "best friends", my cigarettes. I mean...what would I do when the phone rang, when I got in the car, after I was done eating, when I went out, sat next to the pool, etc etc. I remember thinking how will I EVER ENJOY life again without my cigarettes.
SIDS as well as second hand smoke dangers to you and you baby are important considerations in maintaining health for both of you. There are good prescription options for quitting smoking if your husband is willing to discuss them with his doctor. Chantix has had great success and well as Wellbutrin and quitting will keep him healthier for his baby too.
Good luck!
Why risk something that has been scientifically proven to affect an unborn fetus? Science was a whole lot different for our parent's generation, scientist know so much more about the dangers of smoking than before. I just couldn't see myself taking chances like that knowing as many negative stories about it.
