A member asked:

Can we use green tea for smoking, and are there any side effect?

Do something else...: Do something else with your valuable time and boundless curiosity. All smoke has toxic side effects because smoke is the byproduct of burning. Toxic chemicals are produced when something burns.

Overhyped: Green tea is the latest in a long line of overhyped nutritional products. Claims include weight loss, better health, longer life, better endurance. Do not believe the hype. Yes green tea contains some anti-oxidants and phytonutrients, but it still contains caffiene which is a stimulant and has duiretic properties. Too much green tea is not good for you.
