Generally speaking, smoking drugs that are produced in pill form can be dangerous to one's health. The reason for this is that pills usually contain a very small amount of the actual drug (in this case what gives one the high) and most of the pill is made of other materials. A pill is designed to dissolve in your stomach, and has "filler" substances in it that dissolve in the stomach with no effect on the body. If a person smokes a pill, however, then the heat could have an effect on the pills that could create smoke and vapors which are poisonous or toxic to the lungs. A comparison could be that it's safe to drink something out of a plastic cup, but if one had a plastic cup that got so hot it started melting, it would be unsafe to drink anything out of it because the plastic can become toxic at high heat. The same is true of a pill. It's made to go into the stomach and dissolve, not be vaporized and inhaled. Even if the drug doesn't have powerful effects on a user who smokes it, the leftover smoke and fumes could hurt a person's lungs.
