How many people smoke cigarettes vs MariJ?
How many people who smoke MariJ are also Cigarettes smokers?
How can I make an argument circular?
A better question would be what % of people who smoke cigs/mairj get lung cancer.
Im making a wild guess where but i assume for every 1 MariJ smoker there is at least 100,000 Cig smokers (taking into account that a survey from 2008 said 30% of North Americans smoke at least half a pack a day). I would then venture to guess that % of lung cancer cases are very similar when it comes to percentage of use.
Bottom Line, SMOKE is bad for your lungs no matter what plant it comes from.
Considering that Marijuana smoke contains 50-70% more carcinogens then tobacco smoke (and the average Marijuana smoker keeps said smoke in their lungs longer) one could make a very educated assumption by saying an individual who smokes Marijuana has a much greater chance of lung degradation over some who smokes the same amount of Tobacco.
