Is marijuana the same as cigarrette smoke?

Question

If it is then does that mean the stuff cigarrette smoke causes, such as bad skin, go the same for weed or is it something cigarettes have only - like nicotine...........

Answer 1

There’s a new twist to the message about not smoking—don’t smoke cigarettes, and don’t smoke marijuana. Both damage young lungs.

Smoking is particularly harmful for teens because their bodies are still growing and changing. Smoking reduces the rate of lung growth and lessens the amount of lung function that a young person should have. The poisons found in cigarette and marijuana smoke affect normal development and can cause life-threatening diseases, such as chronic bronchitis, heart disease, and stroke. Smoking is the most common cause of lung cancer and is also a leading cause of cancer of the mouth, throat, bladder, pancreas, and kidney.

Some teens might argue that marijuana isn’t as bad for them as tobacco. They’re wrong. Marijuana smoke contains some of the same cancer-causing compounds as tobacco, sometimes in higher concentrations. In fact, one joint can contain as many cancer-causing chemicals as four cigarettes. What many teens may not know is that the strength of marijuana may be as high as 25 times that of earlier decades.

These facts show that marijuana, as much as cigarettes, poses a serious threat to the health of youth. The possibility for harm may be greater for those who are using both substances at the same time. However, lung damage and lung disease from smoking marijuana and cigarettes can be prevented if children never develop the habit.

Answer 2

Cigarettes contain tobacco and about 50 other chemicals.
Marijuana has no nicotine, and no chemicals.
They are not the same in any way.

Answer 3

No it's not. Marijuana is a herb and cigarettes contain tar and nicotine.

Answer 4

Cigarrettes stink The herb smell good and it doesnt hurt if you inhale

Answer 5

Yup also smoking one joint equals smoking 5 cigarettes.

Answer 6

no, studies show that the smoke in marijuana is more concentrated than cigarette smoke, and it has more cancer causing substances.

Answer 7

no. cigarette smoke = second hand smoke which can kill.
smoke from marijuana doesnt have a second hand effect.

Answer 8

If you toke a joint as hard as a cigarette, when do you think you will stop coughing? Next month? Or next year? Pot smoke is more harsh on your lungs, but THC is a relaxant, where nicotine is a vasoconstrictor. So pot is more likely to give you lung cancer, but less likely to give a heart-attack. While both are stupid, its probably safer to smoke a joint a day instead of a pack of smokes. Most people I have met can't do one without the other, though.

Answer 9

They are different but both are very bad for your health.

Answer 10

No it's bad and makes you high.
