Quit Smoking Cigarettes. Smoking Poppers. Bad For Health? Precautions To Be Taken?

hi there i have been smoking poppers for about a year now, this is a way to smoke marijuana and tobacco at the same time, you cut a small piece of tobacco which forms as a screen for the marijuana to be put on top, when you inhale this, you pull the marijuana and tobacco through quick, the tobacco acting like the screen so you don t taste the tobacco at all, can you tell me if this is bad for you, as much or if not more than smoking cigarettes, A lot of my friends have tried to argue that it is bad, i just quit smoking cigarettes 8 months ago, so i need to know what the precautions to poppers are, please and thank you !

Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
I have gone through your history.

Smoking poppers is obviously worse than smoking cigarettes. Bu poppers, you get both nicotine in addition to marijuana, both of which is bad for the most systems of body.

So you must quit taking it. If you can not stop, you may take help of deaddiction center or psychiatrist.

Thanks.
