I had a friend who smoked clove cigarettes from Indonesia, and a few years back inmates at a provincial prison in Manitoba Canada, were keeping there leftover teabags and because they are not allowed to smoke in the penitentary, they are given nicotine gum, they would take the teabags and mix them with the gum soaked in hot water to extract the nicotine, dried to allow them to burn and them roll them in toilet paper to smoke them???

Us kids opened a bag of tea and rolled it up in my uncles rolling papers 50 years ago when I was young. Smoked it with friends got sick and still can't stand the taste of tea since than

wouldnt think so but doesnt have any effect tried it , big headach afterwards

It's bad.

According to legend the Delphi oracle chewed bay leaves, or sniffed the smoke of burning leaves to promote her visionary trances. Bay, or laurel, was famed in ancient Greece and Rome.

I figure that if it was worthwhile to smoke that stuff, humans would have been doing it at the latest 1960's when smoking illegal substances is more common. But since no one does it, it's probably not worthwhile As for smoking tea, same thing.. someone would have heard something about it, and the word would have been passed around. But since it's not, it probably has no effect. The big thing to smoke nowadays is that hookah thing.

Inhaling any smoke into your lungs is bad for you; it causes tar build up, high carbon monoxide levels,etc. It also increases your risk of cancer to breath in pretty much any smoke too often.
