>There's no way putting burnt shit in your lungs is good for you.This is conventional reasoning but "burnt shit" if examined is simply the combusted constituents of tobacco smoke sound, which are mostly light weight organic molecules that are readily excreted. Indeed, the mammalian lung evolved from a smoky enviroment, and early man spent much of his life around a camp fire inhaling hundredfold, much more toxic smoke. In fact, a large percentage of the constituents are antioxidants, including polyphenols and Coenzyme Q10. The worst culprits in tobacco smoke are the benzopyrenes but people neglect to mention that the exposure is minuscule relative to virtually any cooked foods. A seared steak has more benzopyrenes than an entire carton of cigarettes.
