What Are Harmful Effects Of Smoking Poppers?
hey, i was wondering the bad side effects of smoking poppers which consist of using a metal circular shaft that has tobacco and marijuana in it. I've heard it harms your lungs more then smoking a cigarette . What would really get my attention is how much is 1 popper equivalent to how many cigarettes.

Hi,
Smoking poppers is more harmful than smoking a cigarette because no filter is used and so, the body is exposed to more toxins. The high is also faster and more intense and therefore, one gets addicted faster. However, there are no studies to show how many cigarettes are equivalent to a popper. But I would guess that even though you cut a small a part of a cigarette to make a popper, that small part would be as harmful as smoking the entire cigarette.
Best wishes.
