Hang on a tic, I think this raises an interesting question. This need not be associated with hallucinogenics, drugs, cigarettes or anything illegal or harmful. Many plants have healing qualities. For example, I sometimes experience breathing difficulties yet it's not asthma, so I can't get relief from ventolin. However, if I boil up eucalyptus leaves (gum leaves) in a large saucepan and then inhale the steam, it helps a lot. I often notice that I can breathe easier in a forested area. Inhaling the vapors of *some* plants can be beneficial. I thought the concept of using a vaporiser with herbal remedies an interesting solution for many health problems. When in hospital once - for some lung problem - I had to breathe in the vapor of some chemical concocction from a jug with a towel over my head. So using vaporisation is an approved medical solution for certain health problems. But using plants with appropriate healing qualities, (like eucalyptus) instead of chemicals, would be much more beneficial, I think.
