Combustion of many things, tobacco, wood, marijuana, coal etc. will produce polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which are believed to contribute to the development of some cancers. Though marijuana smoke does contain PAHs as well as other chemicals found in tobacco smoke, there has yet to be a reported case of lung cancer attributed solely to smoking marijuana. A significant difference between marijauna and tobacco smoke is that marijuana smoke contains no radioactive agents. Tobacco smoke does, a result of phosphate fertilizers. One such chemical found in tobacco smoke is Polonium 210, the only component in the smoke shown to cause cancer alone in lab tests. Many people fail to point this out when they are comparing smoking tobacco to marijuana.
Consider all the people smoking light/low tar cigarettes, they are at the same risk of developing lung cancer because the filters don't stop you from inhaling polonium 210.
u also have to consider that our wonderful govt considers the natural defense mechanism of our lungs to smoke, a cancerous lesion, i dont really feel like explaining on it here so google it or somethin
Okayyy the people on here that dont smoke more than once every 3 days... you with never develop problems from smoking.. the defense mechanism of our lugs allows them to be cleanes of the amounts of chemicals deposited into our lungs momentarily yet smoke parilyzes these mechanisms for approximetaly 24 hours therefore weekend smokers are very very very safe from developing cancers and any other health problems as a result of smoking mariguana
If you fucken people looked up melatonin, you'd find that it prevents cancer and heart disease. I've known for a long time that cancer is prevented by smoking weed. Fuck everyone who says I'm wrong, I know I'm right, and I'm drunk.
while weed doesn't cause lung cancer, i know of someone who got mouth cancer from smoking out of their pipe everyday for about 15 years... but that's and extreme case. bongs filter out a lot of the cancerous properties, and they give better hits anyway.
