Smoking Rolled Leaves?

[Allain1996]

So a few weeks back me and a couple of my friends were having a campfire when we were home alone. I'm not really sure why but one of my friends decided he wanted to try rolling up a leaf in some regular notebook paper and try smoking it like a cigarette. I have to say, it burnt nice and slow, just like cigarettes do and looked just like a cigarette too. My other friend tried it too, but I have enough respiratory problems as it is from having RSV as an infant, so when I was asked to join in I just took a puff into my mouth and blew it out (I didn't actually breathe it down my throat). Just that one puff was really cool though! Lol
So my question is, is there any danger to doing this? I'm mainly worried about both of my friend's health, not mine, because they were actually breathing it in, over and over.
Also, has anybody else done this?

****Neither me, nor my friends are "druggies"!! This was the first time any of us ever "smoked" anything!****

i don't want to say i doubt your story but from my experience what your describing isn't really possible. just the notebook paper part would probably make you cough your lungs out if you inhaled it. maybe they weren't inhaling either. if your not smokers you probably wouldn't be able to see the difference when someone is fake smoking. i rarely smoke anything becos i like having my lungs to work as good as they can but i can spot fake smoking easily.

I will have to agree with Natalie that this story sounds fishy because of the facts that, first, notebook paper has bleaching elements that when burnt will irritate your lungs so much, even seasoned smokers will cough. Second if you do not roll the paper tight enough, it will burn much faster than real cigarettes, but if you pack it tight it will either not catch fire for lack of oxygen or light off almost instantly, same reason.

To answer the fake smoking part, as she said if they are non-smokers, will not notice. But a cigarette smoker will expect you to inhale with your mouth, exhale and when you do, the smoke will be thin and in a long stream, just puffin and exhaling will give a thick and short stream of smoke. That is what cigar and pipe smokers do. You SHOULD never inhale cigar or pipe smoke, unless you want to be sure you will have either cancer or emphysema.

Well, for you two ladies who doubted my "story", I will be the first to tell you that you are completely wrong. Every single thing that I said in my original post happened. I don't know if it was "notebook paper" really, I just know it was some kind of white paper like computer printing paper or something, if that makes any difference.
None of us were "coughing our lungs out" though, so I don't know what that's about.

none at all. see the thing is i've seen kids try this and its a utter disaster. if they inhale they practically hack there lungs out. i'm guessing no inhaling happened.

Well, knowing those two sleeze-balls that I call friends, it wouldn't surprise me if they were also "fake inhaling" in some weird attempt to make themselves look cool. Lol
