I know nearly nothing about these particular things. I do know about Clove oil as I have used it in place of Ben Gay at times. Cloves have a serious numbing effect and are frequently used in dental work INSIDE a filling to help with nerve sensitivity. You should not use Clove Oil frequently in are particular place of your body because, if say you use it on a bad knee regularly, eventually the skin and some muscles just inside the skin can begin to loose some of their feeling. The cloves oil can deaden the nerves permanantly.
In theory - smoking these would eventually numb your throat and mouth to the point that you would not notice a cavity beginning to hurt, a sore beginning from the tobacco, or a sore early enough to catch an infection or cancer and safely treat it. I guess I would caution that you not use them frequently and that even when you do use them you visually examine your mouth and throat to prevent anything possibly getting out of hand.
there's my 2 cents
