Herbal versus e-cigs?

[alucard76]

Can you good people tell me the pros and cons of herbal cigarettes or smoking some natural herbs or something versus your e-cigs. I don't even know where to begin looking for herbal cigarettes. I've done some research on e-cigs, thanks to this great website. But i'm hesitant and still leaning towards some other kind. Is there anything herbal or natural I can buy and smoke?
Any help would be appreciated.

The problems with herbal cigarettes are that it doesn't fulfill the nicotine cravings that drive you to smoke to begin with, and it has as much OR MORE tar and carcinogins as tobacco smoke does. So what's the point?

Thanks for the response
Is there such thing as a tobaccoless, chemicalless, tarless, cigarette?
There's got to be something in this crazy world out there.

Nicotine is a chemical, so, no.

Propyline glycol. Flavorings.

Hey, perhaps if you tell us what is putting you off e-cigs we could help you out better?

in that case... How about a ballpoint pen with no insides.. then shove a cotton ball to restrict the flow. No nicotine, no smoke, no vapor, no chemicals, nothing at all really. Just a straw and air.

I guess I enjoy the process of actually lighting up a cigarette and smoking it. I don't want a plastic smoke or whatever it is. I'm not dissing e-cigs, just don't think they're for me. I guess I'll just keep looking.
Thanks everyone.

Fair enough, the e-cig ain't for everyone, I'm sure. It is, of course, the smoke that does the damage, so if you are looking to minimize the health risks from smoking, you really need to stop inhaling smoke of any kind.

That said, there is always the Heatbar

With herbal cigarettes, you get the worst of all scenarios: No nicotine (which you'll crave as you watch smoke exhale) and lots of smoky particulates to clog your lungs and initiate cancer.

Still want to smoke herbals? Don't.

It's obvious this poster really wants an e-cig. Seems like everything he/she is looking for is exactly what's in an e-cig, except fire lol.
