These mixtures are tobacco and nicotine free and are often smoked in practice.
The smoke from crackers contains a comparable amount of tar and carcinogenic substances such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). In addition, harmful fine dust and carbon dioxide are produced , which is why Knaster cannot be considered to be safe smoking.
