Are the contents of laser printer cartridges as harmful to inhale as cigarette smoke? Yes. However, laser printer cartridges are usually securely hermetic, so the chances of the contents spilling out into the upper air is fairly in danger of extinction. Besides, it's not like you run into those in the streets carrying around exposed laser printer cartridges similar to they carry around lit cigarettes.

And fairly frankly, if you actually break into the housing of nearly any electronic device nearby are some harmful stuff contained by there. Your typical computer monitor or tube contains mercury, cathode day tubes, barium, and a host of other agents that can head to cancer, skin disease, premature birth, and a host of other ailments. But if you never break open a monitor you will never be exposed to those problems, and indistinguishable could be said of laser printer cartridges, so your worries aren't really necessary. Just recycle your computer and printer parts properly and you'll be fine.
