Can sitting on the toilet in excess of 4 or 5hours a day, cause physical health problems in future?

I recently moved and past year I've had very little furniture or entertainment and I've developed the habit of reading while sitting down for a #2. I've noticed lately it's gotten more and more time in there. it's not unusual to spend 2 hours at a time 2 to 3 times a day. I'm concerned this could lead to health concern like clotting perhaps.

You cannot develop physical health problems for sitting in the toilet for long hours. Although, bad smell comes from the toilet, the smell is not harmful to human beings. The smell can irritate your nose though.

I've read sitting long periods of time on the toilet can contribute to hemorrhoids.
