How harmful is it if you take in the smoke into your mouth and exhale without taking it into your lungs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends what drug: Not sure what you are smoking, but whether it is tobacco, weed or meth, why would you smoke it that way? If you smoke any of these, the likelihood is that you won't stay on the "not inhaling plan." don't get started if you haven't, and get help to quit if you have.
