Marijuana smoke is an irritant to the lungs, and frequent marijuana smokers can have many of the same respiratory problems experienced by tobacco smokers, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illness, and a heightened risk of lung infections. One study found that people who smoke marijuana frequently but do not smoke tobacco have more health problems and miss more days of work than those who don’t smoke marijuana, mainly because of respiratory illnesses. It is not yet known whether marijuana smoking contributes to risk for lung cancer.

I grabbed the first web site I looked at, seems they have not been able to isolated the effects of smoking it in a large enough study to be definitive. But I personally am confident that inhaling enough of any type of smoke can have a negative impact on your life expectancy, I don't really need a study to know that.
Also saw this poster last week, made me thing of the "its natural" argument
