smoking...
« on: January 01, 2011, 05:45:27 pm »
My o/h wants to know if there is any type of plant leaf  (apart from tobacco & certainly NOT marajuana thanks)
that he could dry and smoke?

He grew up hearing tales from his dad about having to smoke tea leaves "during the war"  and tried this (bleugh!)
  In a bid to spend less & grow more, he'd like abit more info before we end up with a shed full of foliage   ;)
 I have in the past smoked herbals - think they had peppermint in, but cant think what else, & were an expensive way to avoid nicotine before quitting.

thanks

I'm sure there are loads and someone will know what they are.

My Great Grandad used to dry Dock Leaves and rub them in with his pipe tobacco to make it go further. According to my dad, a very distinctive smell that he would often catch a whiff of in the house now again even though Great Grandad was long gone.

I remember folks at school smoking the leaves from the beech hedges. Kinda smacks of desperation though, don't you think?  ;D

does he want to quit smoking but needs something to do with his hands??  ;)
the inhalator helps and if he phones up freshstart then will be cheaper/free
