The harm of tea cigarettes

Tea cigarettes are a type of "cigarette" that has gradually gained popularity in recent years. They are made from tea leaves and are positioned in the market as "a healthy alternative to traditional cigarettes."

The tea turns into smoke and acts on the human lungs, producing smoke particles, which is not good for the lungs. Some citizens also believe that "tea cigarettes" will mislead teenagers. Tea leaves are not used to soak in water, but are made into cigarettes for people to smoke, which has also caused considerable controversy among citizens. Tea is brewed with boiling water before drinking, and is absorbed into the human body after passing through the human gastrointestinal tract, which is beneficial to the body.
