You said smoking only puts it into the respiratory system. This is not accurate. Compounds of the smoke get into the blood stream through the walls of the air sacs, the same way oxygen is transferred from the air we breathe into the blood stream. Those compounds in your blood stream are what get you high, not oxygen deprivation.
