Definitely negative effects. If you've ever seen weed smoked through a filter, you will see it literally drips tar. When smoking weed you are going unfiltered.
I could see how the prevalence with weed smokers would be far lower though, because even a heavy weed smoker doesn't actually take that many puffs in compared to a cigarette smoker.
The person who smokes a half pack of cigarettes a day (regularly light user) probably pulls in 200+ puffs a day. The person who smokes weed very heavily at most 40-50.
In addition, the fewer inhales result in your lungs probably having much more time to recover from the weed.
To say that smoking weed has no negative effects is BS. Tobacco and Marijuana are both plants and not totally disimilar.
