A member asked:
Can someone tell me if smoking without inhaling is that bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: But not as bad as inhaling. The second most common kind of cancer produced by smoking (after lung) is head and neck cancer, involving the mouth, tongue and larynx, and even if you don't inhale, the tars in the smoke are doing their damage.
