There are many different kinds of smoke (depending upon what was burned to produce it) and they have various effects, but in general, if you inhale smoke your lungs get dirty. It's not a good idea.

∙ 11y agoYes Inhaling the combustion products (smoke) from any fire can do harm. Some burning materials create toxins that can kill you and almost all fires create Carbon Monoxide which is bad for you at least and fatal if taken in long enough.
Tar and ash, even the heat can damage the lungs. while most love to sit around a camp fire & the smell of a distant fire is pleasant, smoke does contain harmful elements and you should keep your distance.

∙ 14y agoWell for one, you can suffocate because of breathing in the smoke instead of oxygen. Lungs can also be damaged in much the same way of breathing in a smoker's second hand smoke. The alveoli can be destroyed, and the mucus membranes of your throat can become irritated. This could cause coughing and wheezing and lungs problems. Smoke can also trigger Asthma is some cases.
