Does licking tobacco give you cancer?

[Hydrizzle]

How about that? Cause i roll so many blunts that my trashcan is composed of 25% bluntguts. So I really hope that when I get old i dont have mouth cancer. I smoke Dutchmaster natural leaf wraps of course!

Well, nothing "gives" you cancer. Substances can only increase your odds of contracting cancer. Studies have shown that nonsmokers who chew tobacco or use other smokeless tobacco products have a higher incidence of mouth, tongue and throat cancers than those who do not. I doubt if licking the tobacco leaves to make a blunt represents a significant elevation in the risk for cancer, but there is almost certainly at least some increased risk. I wouldn't worry about it, personally. You probably have a higher risk from smoking the blunts, actually.

beeble makes a good point....

[Sentinel]

why do they call them blunts?

[Beeblebrox.420]

'Cause they're not sharp. Duh. :D

[Etrain]

Hydrizzle, your posts are fucking hilarious for some reason right now. I love you all.

[rhino44]

i think the smoking of the tobacco is a much greater risk than licking it.

[Hydrizzle]

Yeah but it seems like mouth cancer would be worse than lung cancer. Your teeth might fall out, ur toungue would turn to jelly, etc etc. Sometimes when I lick the blunt I feel something evil creeping in. Maybe its cancer, maybe its the devil.

you know they sell theses things called ROLLING PAPERS we used them for many years prior to some one deciding it would be a good idea to mix a healthy plant like cannibis with a poisonous plant like tobaco so if your really worried about your health get some rolling papers and start licking pussy instaed of tobaco btw life is not a contest to see who can get to the cemetary looking and feeling their best if its bad for you it probably fun if its healthy its probably boring

the sad fact is cannabis has more carcinogens in it than tobacco but cannabis smokers on average dont smoke as much cannabis a day as a cig smoker smokes cigs.

Well, what is "average."

[Fengzi]

Well, what is "average."
A lot of smokers will smoke 1 pack of cigarettes a day. Tha's probably a good average. 1 pack=20 cigarettes. So if you smoke 20 joints a day your fucked. Then again, if you're smoking 20 joints a day your probably too stoned to care

[mynameismike0]

i'm sure its just a stoner myth but i heard that THC was an anti-carcinogen.

think of how slimy a roach is when your done smoking. think of all the resin on your pipe. think of how thats probably what your lungs and throat look like eventually.

think of how stoned you get and don't care.

die young, make a pretty corpse

I think it is that squirl that is creeping up on you man.......................

[mynameismike0]

hmm... heres a thought.... maybe the government wants to use stoner's acute paranoia to their advantage and tell us that herb gives us cancer.
