I came across a order site for herbal cigarettes that have no nicotine, instead they are made out of herbs. They even say that they herbs will remove the nicotine and tar that has accumulated in the smokers body. You light the cigarettes, smoke them and everything, but they are supposed to be a safer alternative. But I heard that these hebal cigarettes are unsafe because you still inhale smoke into your lungs. Do you think these are safe to smoke?

The only thing that herbal cigarettes are good for, are helping you get over your nicotine addiction. Once your body no longer craves the nicotine, you should quit smoking the Herbal Cigarettes IMMEDIATELY.
The still contaminate your lungs with smoke. Not to mention that the paper that they use for the tube and filter (if they have a filter) contain chemicals from creating it in the first place.
Most people don't know this, but if you look at cigarette paper, you can see particles in it. In brands like Marlboro, or ZigZag filters and tubes, there are "lines" in the paper. These lines contain gun powder and gun powder residue. This is what makes the cigarette burn.
I was a smoker for 12 years when I quit. I quit when I learned all of this information.

I am not sure if these are safe or not as I don't know if those herbs listed are meant to be smoked. Also if you are addicted to nicotine these cigarettes will not help you unless you use a patch or gum or plan to quit cold turkey.

nicotine itself isnt bad for you, its just what gets you addicted- its the actual smoke that damages your lungs. and most people smoke cigarettes for the nicotine high, not because they really like the taste of smoke. like the other dude said its the ash and tar and stuff that is bad (and that stuff cant be removed, its part of burning stuff. they are lying.). ive heard (couldnt tell you for a fact) herbal cigarettes are actually worse because the filters arent as good as commercially made cigs which means more of the smoke and junk gets into your lungs.

They're probably bad for us, but what isn't. My church member use to sell them in her store. Thanks for the link I have been looking for them the last few years.

No. Anything burning inhaled is not healthy.
