There's a lot of debate about whether or not smoking mint leaves effects the same way as tobacco. Mint is an herb that has a refreshing taste and aroma that is often used to make herbal cigarettes. It is not as abrasive on the lungs and has no nicotine in it, which makes it an ideal alternative for smokers looking to quit smoking tobacco.
To smoke mint, place a few dried leaves on a piece of medium-weight rolling paper and roll it up just like you would hand-roll a tobacco cigarette. You can use a small manual tool that is sold in many smoking shops to help with this process. There are also some cigarette stores that sell tools that will smoke any herb, even mint, in a cigar-like form.
The mint leaves will burn when you light them, which will release a pleasant menthol-like scent and aroma. It is important to not inhale too deeply when you smoke, as the vaporized leaves may irritate your lungs and throat. You should also only smoke a small amount, as too much can cause you to choke and cough.
The main effect of smoking mint leaves is the relaxation and calming feeling it can have on your mind and body. It has also been shown to help you breathe more easily, as mint has been known to relax nerves and increase blood flow to the lungs. It is also a natural deodorizer and helps prevent bad breath, which is a common problem for people who have been smoking tobacco.
