Answer 2

Cigarettes are worse because of the quantity needed. I smoke about ten cigarettes a day and I'm a light smoker, some of my friends smoke around thirty. In order to get your nicotine fill you have to smoke a large quantity of tobacco. Marijuana on the other hand is a much more potent drug, meaning you only have to smoke a little to get the desired effects. I smoke about one, maybe two joints (marijuana cigarettes) a day. Even my friends who are hardcore stoners smoke only about five times a day. Furthermore tobacco is addictive, meaning that you will be smoking cigarettes all day everyday, while weed is something you can smoke whenever you want. Marijuana can also be filtered through a bong to limit the harmful effects or even vaporized or eaten which virtually eliminates all harmful effects.

Answer 3

One (1) joint is equal to twenty (20) cigarettes. Some feel weed helps them with some of their illnesses and stresses. I have a friend who smokes weed in order for him to get hungry and eat otherwise he just doesn't have an appetite and he skinny. Some smoke cigarettes to help them ease the stresses. Both are bad habits. Both are bad for your health esp your lungs. Is smoking weed better or worse then cigarettes? I have to say in my opinion smoking weed is worse. Peace! ☺

Answer 4

Inhaling any kind of smoke is bad for your lungs. Tobacco smokers typically breathe in a lot more smoke than marijuana smokers. Somebody with a pack-a-day habit lights up 20 cigarettes every day. Hardly anybody smokes that many joints. On the other hand, some pot smokers hold in each lungful of smoke longer than cigarette smokers hold in theirs.

Another consideration is that the nicotine in tobacco is seriously addictive. Once your body gets used to it, you suffer serious pain if you try to quit smoking. Some ex-addicts have reported that kicking a nicotine habit is harder than getting off heroin. Marijuana does not contain any comparable addictive chemicals.

Answer 5

If you're asking which one is worse for your health (not a moral question), tobacco is worse, hands down. Having said that, anytime you inhale carbon, whether it's burnt tobacco or weed, you take carcinogens (cancer-causing particles) into your blood stream. In many places where weed is legal, at least for medicinal use, people use vaporizers rather than pipes to avoid this hazard.

Answer 6

Weed is far less dangerous if it is smoked on it's own, through a pipe for example, you don't get all the added chemicals you get when smoking it in a joint mixed with tobacco.

Answer 7

In my personal opinion, cigarettes are far more addictive and have been scientifically PROVEN to cause lung cancer not to mention all the other nasty side effects - like wrinkly skin, coughing, raspy voice, smelly clothes, etc. Weed just makes you kind of unproductive if you smoke too much of it and personally I think it probably does cause some lung problems if you smoke too much.

Answer 8

first of all, marijuana is by far lest hazardous than tobacco smoking. THC, unlike Nicotine or caffeine, is not physically addictive.
Many people think smoking marijuana is just as harmful as smoking tobacco, but this is not true. Those who hold that marijuana is equivalent to tobacco are misinformed. For example the Berkeley carcinogenic tar studies of the late 1970's concluded that "marijuana is one-and-a-half times as carcinogenic as tobacco." This finding was based solely on the tar content of cannabis leaves compared to that of tobacco, and did not take radioactivity into consideration. (Cannabis tars do not contain radioactive materials.)... "

Keep this in mind people:
1) Most marijuana smokers smoke the bud, not the leaf, of the plant. The bud contains only 33% as much tar as tobacco.
2) Marijuana smokers do not smoke anywhere near as much as tobacco smokers, due to the psychoactive effects of cannabis.
3) Not one case of lung cancer has ever been successfully linked to marijuana use.
4) Cannabis, unlike tobacco, does not cause any narrowing of the small air passageways in the lungs.

but beware: the legal ties to marijuana could be more dangerous than any physical damage. know the laws in your district befor you puff & pass.

Answer 9

Smoking in general is not healthy. However, recently a 30-year study on the cancer and marijuana smoking showed that smoking pot does not increase your risk of developing lung cancer, ect. whereas cigarettes increase your risk of those types of cancer 40-50%.

"There was time for only one question, said the moderator, and San Francisco oncologist Donald Abrams, M.D., was already at the microphone: "You don't see any positive correlation, but in at least one category, it almost looked like there was a negative correlation, i.e., a protective effect. Could you comment on that?" [Abrams was referring to Tashkis lung-cancer-only data for marijuana-only smokers in 1-10 j-yrs category.] "Yes," said Tashkin. "The odds ratios are less than one almost consistently, and in one category that relationship was significant, but I think that it would be difficult to extract from these data the conclusion that marijuana is protective against lung cancer. But that is not an unreasonable hypothesis."

Answer 10

I don't know, but I read an article that said people that smoked weed had a higher chance of getting emphysema and that they got it earlier.
