Okay. First off I DO Not smoke.

All I do is put a cigarette in my mouth and just inhale it but I dont light the cigaretts. I was wondering if this is bad as real smoking. where smokes comes.

    No. The damage comes from the smoke - the carcinogens damage the lungs, the cardiovascular system, etc. There really isn't anything wrong with the nicotine as long as it's in small doses. I guess what you're doing is a habit.

    The carcinogens come from the inhaled smoke not from the tobacco when it is not burned. All you are doing is satisfying an oral fixation and this sure looks better than sucking your thumb. I know that I enjoy the smell of pipe tobacco when you open the can and coffee as it is being ground but I dont smoke a pipe or drink coffee. You may enjoy the smell of cigarette tobacco because it is a pleasing smell or reminds you of someone or something that was good in your life. You are doing nothing that would harm you or others.

    Maybe not as bad as inhaling the smoke but still there is an element of danger leading to unforeseen consequences!

    What is the point? Its a cigarette... you LIGHT it and smoke it. Or you just dont put it in your mouth...

    No, that's why it's called "smoking" because you have to light it to get any smoke. Why you would do that is beyond me, but no you wont get lung cancer or anything..

    not wanting to sound rude but wtf is the point of putting the cig in your mouth in the first place then? Obviously if you dont light it you are not getting the damaging chemicals from the smoke but you are not getting the buzz from it either, suck a lollipop or something its cheaper
