yashman19 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 yup, they contain fiberglass in them. It will slowly shread your mouth/throat/lungs sort of like asbestos. I know they taste better than ciggs, but they are far more addictive and far worse for you in the long run. If at all possible, put the cloves down and put a hookah hose in your hand instead. A much better habbit for your nicotine needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Um yash..i think that MIGHT be an urban myth. Part of the problem with cloves is that people tend to inhale them deeper, hold them in longer, and smoke more of each cigarrett. There may also be something about smoking the cloves themselves, I'll do some more research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Yup, you're right. I just googled them and read a bit about them. I never smoked em and was just going off of what I have heard from my friends...wonder where they got an idea like that... But from what I just read, they contain some anastetic used in dentristy which numbs the throat and gagging reflex, which may allow the smoker to take longer deeper hits without it feeling as harsh. Sorry to give out false information without checking first, and thanks for Mush for letting me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Nope, couldn't find anything having to do with the cloves themselves. Though I would point out that clove cigarettes are still mostly regular cigarette tobacco with a little bit of ground up cloves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Deere Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Correct yash, that anasthetic commonly used by dentists is called eugenol, a naturally occurinng substance found only in cloves "Eugenia caryophyllus" which is where the word comes from. This numbs the throat, allowing you to inhale deeper and more freguently without pain, also nobody really knows the health issues with inhaling eugenol, and this is why they are worse than cigs.
