How much THC do cigarettes contain?

Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains cancer-causing chemicals. There are 33 cancer-causing chemicals contained in marijuana. Marijuana smoke also deposits tar into the lungs. In fact, when equal amounts of marijuana and tobacco are smoked, marijuana deposits four times as much tar into the lungs. This is because marijuana joints are un-filtered and often more deeply inhaled than cigarettes.Although it may be true that marijuana smoke deposits more tar into the lungs than tobacco smoke, current evidence does not indicate that the former results in proportionally greater deleterious health affects.


What happens to your lungs when you smoke marijuana?

Weed is a known bronchodialator to the medical community. This being said it could be effective treatment to a person with asthma as long as they vape, rather than smoke. Smoking deposits tar into the lungs. Because marijuana smoke is rarely filtered this can be up to 4 times as much tar by weight smoked than cigarette smoke deposits, this being said a tobacco smoker goes through 20-40 cigarettes a day while a stoner goes through 2-4 joints of the same weight per day. Marijuana smoke also causes temporary irritation, but it has no lasting effects. Marijuana does not increase your risk for cancer or COPD, let alone cause them unlike tobacco smoking and there are studies that conclusively prove this and disprove the myth and lie alleged by the negative propaganda.

Does Smoking Make You Old?

No. Only time does that. However, smoking can shorten your life, risking some pretty nasty ways to die. Tobacco tar is carcinogenic, particularly to the lungs. Marijuana is thought eventually to damage the brain (and in my country is illegal). Besides having once had a girlfriend who smoked, I can as a non-smoker say that kissing a smoker is like kissing an ashtray!

Tobacco is legal, weed is illegal.
