Pot Smoking Better Than Cigarette Smoking: Study
Pot smokers: you may rejoice! And maybe ask your cigarette-smoking friends to consider a lifestyle change. Smoking marijuana does less damage to the lungs than cigarette smoking, according to a collaborative study by the University of Alabama Birmingham and UC San Fransisco. Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the study distills data collected from over 5000 people aged 18-30 over a 20 year period. After studying marijuana and cigarette usage amongst other vital factors, researchers have determined that cigarette usage degrades both the FEV, the amount of air the lungs can hold and FVC, the amount of air a person blows out. Contrarily occasional pot smoking increased lung capacity according to the research, though heavy pot smoking had similar effects as tobacco smoking. The authors became interested in the study as more Americans are using medical marijuana. The control group likely became interested in the study because of the possibility of free weed.

@Assaltr3z How can you say stupid people smoke pot when you’ve never experienced how cannabis can effect your life? I have smoked pot for about 5 years and it has helped me greatly to see life for what it really is and has helped me become a critical thinker. And I’m sure many other pot users have had the same effect, so you can’t say “only” dumb, ignorant people smoke weed. Cigarettes and pot may be both unhealthy, but pot sure is 100% more beneficial than cigarettes.
@demoniod666 Weed never was bad for you. Cigarettes and alchohol however are. Everything you thought you knew about marijuana is wrong. Hemp (cannibus) can be used as food, fuel, fiber, paper, medicine and more. That propoganda monstrosity beganed in the 1937s because industrial companys realise it will run then out of buisness so they got together and thru lobbying they banned weed to take out their main and utter competition. Fun fact: The war on drugs is mainly funded by these industrys.
@AssaItr3z Hate to break it to ya, but everything you thought you knew about pot were wrong. Pot does NOT cause lung cancer, it infacts cures it. The THC in it has anti-cancer properties hence why its used in medicines long ago. The hempseed oils with THC in it can fight cancer tumors as well as other brain illnesses such as Alzheimer, Glaucoma, Tourettes, Multi-scherosis etc and much much more. The reason Marijuana is banned is because industrys will run out of buisness due to it.
@demoniod666 okay then why would you say that only STUPID people smoke pot or cigarettes.. dickhead
The only reason why marijuana still illegal is cuz the alcohol, the paper, and the pharmaceutical companies will lose a shitload of money so they keep paying these politicians to keep it illegal. Marijuana is not a ” recreational party drug,” it is a medicinal herb. Hemp (the male plant) can be made into paper, its cheap and easy to make, so no cutting down trees and hemp seeds are very nutritious. Keeping it illegal is just pure stupidity.
@Henrydafizif I smoke weed because I like to relax. And I smoke cigarettes because I was a dumbass and started smokin at the age of 11 and now I can’t quit.
So they are tryin to say that smoking weed is NOT bad for me??
@AssaItr3z ur a douchebag.. you saying only stupid people smoke weed and cigarettes makes you look like an ignorant fuckhead.
@PastorBillSuttcliff Not a lie. To my understanding most of the holy anointing oil in the bible contained cannabis
@GorillaTerrorist56 Oh my, my… you really shouldn’t bear false witness, my child. that’s a sin. Cannibas is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible. Get on your knees now & beg Jesus for forgiveness for your brash lie. NOW! DO IT!
@PastorBillSuttcliff The bible also doesn’t say that god said that pot is bad. But in one passage he tells one of his prophets to make anointing oil from cannabis. If your actually a christian and not just someone who comes on here to piss people off then i can argue with you about this for days.
@GorillaTerrorist56 The Bible doesn’t say Moses inhaled the smoke, so if theBible doesn’t say it, then it didn’t happen.
hey all im saying is its a biased study anyways im one of the onews that used to smoke it for years and couldnt handle it because of the paranoa i would get from it so i dont really like the stuff .
@PastorBillSuttcliff Who said he didnt?
@PastorBillSuttcliff I imagine the same reason we dont go around huffing burning shrubbery today. Its difficult and probably painful…
@AssaItr3z Well I’m really intelligent and I smoke pot every day and don’t seem to be getting any dumber
@diggydinner Light smoking of cigarettes is probably not very harmful either, but it’s a moot point. Why smoke pot or tobacco at all? And even if pot isn’t as harmful, it’s still not “better” than tobacco… instead, it’s “not as bad”. There’s nothing “good” about pot or tobacco.
@diggydinner If God intended us to smoke His plants, then why didn’t Moses smoke the Burning Bush? Mmmmm?
We’re all breathing in toxins anyway. I don’t smoke weed, I used to smoke cigarettes but I quit. I don’t think that pot smoking is necessarily BAD.. I mean it’s no worse than drinking alcohol (which is legal). But the study indicates it DOES damage the lungs, and brain functions if used over an extended period of time, especially in teens. I think it should be regulated by the gov’t (so yes, it should be legal) and tax the shit out of it. I just hate when immature teens use it cuz its “cool.”
@diggydinner Lol, im just sitting here reading all of the comments from people who dont smoke pot and trying to provide a good debate. (I actually read the study)
@PastorBillSuttcliff is that a virtue from the bible or just a hunch?
@AssaItr3z but wouldnt you agree that if smoking pot regularly is not harmful, but smoking large amounts of it is…. it is still BETTER than smoking cigarettes…. because you CAN smoke it without adverse effects
@diggydinner Ummm… you obviously missed the part where they say “though heavy pot smoking had similar effects as tobacco smoking”. LMAO at you!!!!
@AssaItr3z You actually dont even know for a fact that smoking marijuana is bad for you…. you are just repeating things that have been said to you. This is a 20 year study by scientists who have no financial gain invested in the outcome of their experiment… Why are people afraid of science? but I do agree Cigarette smoking is moronic.
@JailPotheadsForLife prove it
