Tobacco Smoke from Burning Leaf with Incense Burner
-
I've heard about the benefits of getting vitamin B3 thru its delivery via smoking. I heard that when tobacco is smoked by lighting it up with the embers of charcoal, it delivers the vitamin much better than if a lighter, with its yellow flame, were used. I suspect, or rather, I speculate, the burn quality may be better using the embers to light up the tobacco allows for a slower burn rate where the air fuel ratio leads to a more complete burn that produces more carbon dioxide, which Peaters know is beneficial. At the same time, there is less carbon monoxide produced, which can range in effect from stressful to toxic.
I recently bought an electronic incense burner, which saves me the trouble of lighting up charcoal, which is a time consuming process. Maybe I just haven't found the right technique, but starting a charcoal burn has been frustrating to me.
But the electronic incense burner has been easy to use, and so far I've used it with satisfaction burning frankincense resins. I can set it to burn with a timer built-in, and it can be set across a range of temperatures.
I've begun to use it also on dry white sage leaves, and the smell it gives brings a calmness that is fitting for meditation. Oh, in case you were wondering about the frankincense, I'm using it to keep my lungs from getting wet and interfering with my breathing.
I can buy tobacco leaves online and thought that instead of rolling the leaves to smoke thru the mouth, I could also burn the leaves as incense. With a gentle setting with the use of low heat, I may find myself breathing the incense and be enjoying while getting my vitamin B3 fix.
But before I get started, I'd like to ask if there are any gotchas I need to be aware of. Thanks .
