Keep on smoking and find out.
I would imagine so
I've posted this a lot..but again:
Researchers at the Kaiser-Permanente HMO, funded by NIDA, followed 65,000 patients for nearly a decade, comparing cancer rates among non-smokers, tobacco smokers, and marijuana smokers. Tobacco smokers had massively higher rates of lung cancer and other cancers. Marijuana smokers who didn't also use tobacco had no increase in risk of tobacco-related cancers or of cancer risk overall. In fact their rates of lung and most other cancers were slightly lower than non-smokers, though the difference did not reach statistical significance. Sidney, S. et al. Marijuana Use and Cancer Incidence (California, United States). Cancer Causes and Control. Vol. 8. Sept. 1997, p. 722-728.
This isn't about the tar...only about cancer. But, long term smokers don't usually experience health issues...I actually find myself being less winded after heavy physical activity if I've had a smoke before then...I've read that it opens up tiny airways inside your lungs at some place..perhaps they were even the ones that tar from tobacco clings to..maybe. But that's where the bit comes in and it used to be prescribed for asthma in the twenties..
