Is smoking marijuana worse then smoking ciggarettes?
Question:
Answers:
Its like asking if jumping off the 10th floor of a building is more dangerous or the 25th floor.For both the ultimate outcome (normally) is the same. Why jump in the first place.My sincere advise is to quit whatever you are smoking when the time's right.It would be impossible to do that later in life.I see people affected day in and day out.Its not worth it.Life is more precious and important.Hope you read the message and act accordingly.
no smoking cigarettes is far more dangerous
"Given a cigarette of comparable weight, as much as four times the amount of tar can be deposited in the lungs of marijuana smokers as in the lungs of tobacco smokers." [p. 111]
"However, a marijuana cigarette smoked recreationally typically is not packed as tightly as a tobacco cigarette, and the smokable substance is about half that in a tobacco cigarette. In addition, tobacco smokers generally smoke considerably more cigarettes per day than do marijuana smokers." [Pp. 111, 112]
"There is no conclusive evidence that marijuana causes cancer in humans, including cancers usually related to tobacco use. … More definitive evidence that habitual marijuana smoking leads or does not lead to respiratory cancer awaits the results of well-designed case control epidemiological studies." [p. 119]

Cigarettes have tar as an ingredient which has been linked to lung cancer, emphysema, and other ailments. Like other suggestions, nothing of the sort can be found in marijuana. Besides, marijuana that is medicinal has been known to cure such ailments as hepatitis and MS. Have you ever heard of medicinal cigarettes?
I'm assuming you're talking about how good/bad for the lungs.
The actual evidence is a bit patchy, but from scientific research the following can be taken away.
Marijuana is in essence worse because of the way its typically smoked:
A cigarette smoker inhales, draws in the goodness, and exhales.
Marijuana smokers tend to hold the smoke in their lungs for longer, leading to a greater likelihood of respiratory problems, because the smoke is in the lungs for longer.
However, many smokers smoke in the region of 10-20 cigarettes a day, every day. While marijuana smokers usually don't smoke any where near as often. So it is all relative to how often / mow much you smoke.
Also marijuana has other side effects on the body (not just the lungs), some of which are not fully understood yet.
Generally, no. Marijuana itself about as many carcinogens (cancer-causing substances) as tobacco does, but tobacco products often have other poisons and tars added, which cause additional damage.
But there are other dangers from smoking marijuana as well. It can damage your mental health, respiratory system (smoking ANYTHING will damage your respiratory system, humans are not meant to breathe in smoke), put you at risk of lung cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and can have drastic effects on your memory. Memory deterioration in particular, can show up much faster than the effects caused by tobacco smoking.
Marijuana is an addictive substance. Say no to marijuana (if you are considering smoking it) so you won't have to go through the horrible withdrawal symptoms later.
cigarettes is worse. marijuana is strait from the earth. no chemicals added. No wonder our forfathers grew+ smoked marijuana.
