This is a common misconception. It's the
combustion that causes the majority of this damage. When you burn anything and inhale it over and over again you are going to destroy your lungs. We see a lot of bad lung damage in third world countries where people live in poorly ventilated small residences and are cooking with open flames.
You're right, all those added chemicals certainly aren't helping, and we see oral cancers in people who chew tobacco, so the product itself is dangerous. Lots of carcinogens as the website pointed out.
This is why I've seen COPD in exclusive marijuana smokers. They are still smoking the product, whether it is tobacco or marijuana. And smoking anything is terrible for your lungs
