yes it is. The agents and chemicals used to bleach the paper (dioxins among others) will cause damage to your lungs

Inhaling any smoke into your lungs is not good for you.
If you are trying to stop smoking tobacco then this may help. When you next feel like smoking, go find something to eat. Specifically some low fat meat like chicken, or other protein if you are a vegetarian, and a bit of carbohydrate. While an apple would be ideal, since you need help now, go for a cracker or a single cookie. Also if you have peanuts or almonds on hand (and are not allergic) eat them up. They are protein and good fat.
Don't eat a lot of this though. A snack is about one ounce of protein and a small amount of carb if you are a woman. Double that if you are a man. Don't worry about the amount of nuts.
Eat this instead of smoking. Chew slow and enjoy like you would the cigarette. Then drink 8 oz of water and do something that raises your heartbeat for a while, even just breathing in and out. Laughing is the best for this.
If you do this every time you want a cigarette, you should not gain much weight, if any at all, and should feel great.

Well the smoke from a regular sheet of paper is definitely less harmful than a chemical and tobacco filled cigarette, and since you actually didn't inhale it I'd say that your okay. You probably just inhaled a little smoke the burning paper was giving off. Generally all smoke is bad for your lungs so you shouldn't smoke, not even "fake" smoke. I think you'll be fine as long as you're not frequently "smoking" and inhaling the smoke.

Smoking anything is bad for you! If it wasn't bad for you then God would've just made all of the air smoke so you could breathe it in 24/7.

Yes, becuase the Ash is still going into your lungs. But, if you were to try it, I don't think that you would become addicted becuase there is no Nicotine.
