Is Marijuana Worse For You Than Cigarrettes?

I’ve smoked both, but i want to pick one of them to kick…and id much rather kick the one that’s doing more harm to my health. I hear marijuana is much better for you but i just want to get some advice from people who really know what they’re talking about. I want an unbiased medical answer please.

  2. “1) Most marijuana smokers smoke the bud, not the leaf, of
    the plant. The bud contains only 33% as much tar as tobacco.
    2) Marijuana smokers do not smoke anywhere near as much as
    tobacco smokers, due to the longer-lasting psychoactive effects of cannabis.
    3) Not one case of lung cancer has ever been successfully
    linked to marijuana use.
    4) Cannabis, unlike tobacco, does not cause any narrowing of the small air passageways in the lungs. In fact, marijuana has been shown to be an expectorant and actually dilates the air channels it comes in contact with. This is why many asthma sufferers look to marijuana to provide relief. ”
    Marijuana is also a better choice because in most cases, adults quit smoking marijuana at some point in their life. This is much less common with cigarettes due to its addicting characteristics.
    There are many studies that show positive effects from the use of marijuana, and the facts can be found all over the internet.
    Here’s a few articles on marijuana.
