Duh! Actually it is worse than tobacco because the user holds the smoke, with nasty toxins and carcinogens, in their lungs longer. From what I have read, pot can have even nastier toxins than cigs.
Worst of all — the promoters are lying and covering up these important facts.
But is it inevitable that once the health issues are mainstreamed, the lawyers will see dollars signs and will go after the growers, distributors, and sellers. Just like they did with the tobacco companies a few years ago.
Except that with the use of a vape -- or edible for that matter -- there is no smoke, no combustion, no combustion by-products. Interestingly, here in WA state, I have not even smelled mj since it became legal.
With tobacco, you can avoid any nasty properties due to the inhaling of tar and other combustion products by using an e-cigarette. So, to those who worry about health issues induced by smoking marijuana, I have to ask, “Are you technology-hating Luddites? Why can’t they vape?”
The average smoker uses a pack a day. 20 cigarettes. Even back in high school when I knew some of the biggest stoners, smoking 4 joints would have had them sleeping. Bongs filter out a lot of the tars and other carcinogens. Unless you’re superman, You’re not going to smoke 20 bowls of weed a day in a bong.
Haven’t touched the stuff in over 20 years. Won’t touch it for at least another 15. The day I retire is the day I quit alcohol and switch to weed. I’ll get my Medical (green card) cert and never look back. God willing I live that long of ocurse...
