Avery good alternative to smoking is Vaporization as it prevents you from the various ill effects of smoking. Vaporization can be done by using equipment known as the vaporizer. You can inhale the active ingredients of plant extracts, most commonly of tobacco, marijuana and other herbs and their blends. During smoking, you burn the herb that produces byproducts that are toxic and carcinogenic in nature. But in a vaporizer the material is subjected to heat in partial vacuum conditions to convert the solid active compounds of the herb into vapor form that is mostly free of the harmful particulate matter and since no burning takes place, no smoke or other byproducts are produced.
You can then directly inhale these vapors via a hose or a pipe. Vapor can also be stored in bags or jars to use them later for consequent inhalations. Vaporization greatly reduces or eliminates the damaging effects of smoking. It also prevents others present around from passive smoking, also called second hand smoking. Using vaporizers have many advantages over other drug delivery systems like ingestion, etc. vaporization has an immediate pharmacological effect, offers a direct delivery of the drug through the lungs into the bloodstream and also has a more exact titration to get the proper dosage.
