I mean, if you think secondhand tobacco smoke is bad, what basis is there to think that secondhand cannabis smoke is OK? For that matter, what basis is there to think that firsthand cannabis smoking does not have similar long-term health consequences as tobacco smoking? The only obvious reason I can think of is that most people don't smoke cannabis all day, every day as many cigarette smokers do.

In my city they do, morning until night, about every 2 hours or so, directly entering my living space with no way to prevent (in each case one individual, in different buildings). Addiction.

  Maybe you should invest in a locking door so you will be able to prevent these people from entering your living space to smoke cannabis?

    OP probably lives in a highrise with centralized air condition or with passive toilet vents without a backflow stopper. Either of these is really nasty with any kind of pungent odor, no matter if feces, cooking or smoking.

    Multifamily housing typically doesn't consist of hermetically sealed units. If your neighbors are doing something that produces odor, if it's strong enough, others are going to smell it in their units too. Additionally, shared spaces in the building often ending up smelling too. This isn't limited to pot smoking but it is a common enough occurrence that it's unreasonable to mock someone for mentioning it.

    lol, way to layer on the sarcasm. I live in a complex and I can smell weed every time my neighbor lights up on the balcony even though my door is closed. I like the guy and he doesn't really have an alternative so I don't mind, but it is a bit annoying!

  No way for you to prevent it. They could though. In college we exhaled into paper towel tubes filled with toilet paper. It's incredibly effective.

>For that matter, what basis is there to think that firsthand cannabis smoking does not have similar long-term health consequences as tobacco smoking? The vast majority of tobacco is consumed in the form of cigarettes, which are more of a "tobacco product" than actual tobacco. There is a plethora of additives and most cigarettes are actually composes of a nasty cardboard-like filler[0] which has been soaked in a processed tobacco broth. Whereas smoked marijuana is typically just dried plant matter. So without saying which may be better or worse, there likely is some sort of difference. Plus the growing processes and absorption characteristics of the two plants may produce different amounts of radioactive contaminants which probably contribute to the carcinogenicity of tobacco. 0. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IBAuM1fLKRk https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IBAuM1fLKRk - I bet real tobacco is less harmful but don't quote me on that.

  On top of that, tobacco smokers on average probably injest way more smoke than cannabis smokers do. Though cannabis smokers tend to hold the smoke in longer.
