What are the health risks of smoking sage, wild, or home grown tobacco?

Question

I'm sure it isn't as harmful as the over the counter packs with added chemicals to ensure your addiction, but is there any evidence out there about just how harmful sage, wild, or home grown may be?

Answer 1

The risks are lung problems for starters. Smoking stuff you roll yourself is worse because there is no filter. You are still at risk for lung cancer, hypertension, atherosclerosis, emphysema, chronic bronchitis and many other problems. All of these things and the meds you have to take to treat them will eventually lead to other health problems, like heart problems, kidney failure, liver disease, poor blood circulation, activity intolerance .... Still wanna smoke? I work o a lung transplant floor at a hospital and trust me, you don;'t want to have to go through that. They make two large incisions on your back, that are closed by staples (which is really fun to lay on all night), they put tubes into your lungs to drain fluid that apparently hurt like hell, you are hooked up to several IVs, you are on meds that cause you to gain weight, high blood pressure, get a type of diabetes, and put you at a really high risk for infection from even the most common bacteria. You have to take these meds every day of your life as scheduled or you will reject your transplant (your body will attack it) and then you will have to either get another or slowly die. Trust me, smoking is not worth it. I have become so against it after seeing the effects of smoking all of the time.
