>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.
