pippo Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) OOps- sorry, title should read "bad", not "bqad".......but: Believe it or not, some people say burning plant material like "incense", and sage is not detrimantal to your health. OK, maybe not as bad as cigarette manufacturers which add about 10% additives to "tobacco", but still, smoke from a weed/plant/leaf is still smoke particles, and that inside your lungs is technically foreign body , and can cause pneumonia, I believe. Why would smoke from a sage plant be "good" for you but tobacco say, raw natural tobacco, without the processing likely from cigarette companies, be "bad" for you. isnt that kind of being biased?

John Cuthber Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 "Isn't all smoke bad for your lungs?" Yes, it is. The plant doesn't really matter much- smoke is bad for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippo Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Glad to get a reply that helps confirm my initial belief. I think there are about 50-100 carcinogenic compounds in smoke including vinyls, benzene, etc. Some may be present, although in miniscule amounts. Too bad I like the "smoke" that is produced when I grill my food with wood, though. But to say sage smoke "purifies" the spirit is bunk- its a sacred cow those people can not kill.
