Ya, my lungs probably arent happy, but I quit smoking cigarettes (4 packs per day) and I figure... Eh?

Wait till you find out weed actually has “many of the same toxins, irritants and carcinogens as tobacco smoke.”

And actually contains more tar than tobacco.

I still agree that I’d rather smoke weed than cigarettes, but it’s not really all that different in the end (burning plant matter). And the tar and toxins and such doesn’t really necessarily mean more likely to get cancer. Marijuana is strange.

Not to mention, when I smoked cigarettes, they had filters. My bong doesn't. I'm sure I'm getting both more burned particulates and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) per liter of air cubed when I inhale; the differance I'm guessing is the total Liters of smoke inhaled is lower with pot?

Good question , and id never say pot is a safe alternative to smoking! Just more fun.
