It isn't logical to smoke anything if you have damaged lungs.
However, from the viewpoint of a nicotine addict, anything which enables a reduction in nicotine use is an improvement in health, or perhaps better said, is less damaging.
I once had a 30 a day habit - now I smoke 5 and those 5 are mixed with mullein 50/50.
It is interesting to note that as recent as 1940s/50s, TB hospitals prescribed mullein for smokers (not for non smokers!). This was in the days when antibiotics were a novelty.
It does have an expectorant effect and so reduces the risk of fluid build up in the lungs.
PS we seem to have gone off topic - sorry.
