With "herbals", you thus consumed all of the byproducts of plant combustion without the pleasurable influence of nicotine.

Now that truly makes no sense.

Trivia:

The cast smokes herbal cigarettes during filming of Mad Men on AMC. Apparently Jon Hamm (Don Draper) likes them enough to smoke them exclusively when he's out drinking and what-not.

I have to agree with TropicalBob.
You're still getting tars, carbon monoxide and other contaminants.
Just not the nicotine.

I wish there were a "magic bullet" smoking alternative, but herbals aren't the safe answer that some assume. If you could use them on a short term basis to completely quit smoking, then the risk might be worth it.
But to simply swap one for the other?
I don't think that's a fair choice.

As of the end of this month, we can kiss clove cigarettes goodbye.

Where’s the clove? Cigarette importer tries cigars to get around flavored-cigarette ban

I was wondering if there is such a thing as herbal e-liquid? Interesting concept?

Quick answer is "no". But PM LaceyUnderall and she can tell you the long trip that has already been made down this road. It leads to a dead end. Herbals are not an answer to any question we are asking.

P.S. Go to E-Cig and you will find some "health" liquids, including a no-nic concoction that is supposed to aid in quitting smoking (I've tried it; it tastes awful!!). Also some liquids with vitamins added (of questionable value). Also some illegals that should be by prescription only.

Yeah, I tried herbal cigs years ago. It was like smoking two metric tonnes of manure lol
I maybe thought that flavoured liquid might please a little more.
