Herbal cigarettes are nicotine-free and tobacco-free cigarettes made from a blend of several herbs rather than tobacco. Because of its tobacco-free, herbal cigarettes can be sold legally to smokers of any age. Despite the fact that it is gaining popularity as a non-smoking aid, research on herbal cigarettes is limited. Therefore, a large number of people still believe that herbal cigarettes are less harmful than regular cigarettes. This study will provide a general knowledge about herbal cigarettes and its harmful effects compared to general cigarettes by analyzing chemical compounds of both cigarettes before and after combustion in the mainstream smoke using Infrared Spectroscopy and Mass Spectrometry. Through that people can be aware of their actions and how it impacts their life in the future, especially in the young community nowadays.
