Best Answer

Smoking is never good for the lungs, and that is true no matter what it is that you are smoking. The smoke coats the lung surface and makes it dirty; it is difficult for lungs to clean themselves. Coughing, difficulty breathing, lung cancer, and emphysema are all likely to result from prolonged smoking.
