Hey,

I smoked tobacco on and off for a while, but never really liked the flavor or enjoyed the need for a nicotine kick.

I’m thinking about smoking dried mint leaves instead and want to ask a medical professional what the health risks are.

Could you please inform me if smoking mint leaves has particular health risk in comparison to regular tobacco sigarettes?

Sincerely,

Alex
