New British Study: 1 Joint = 5 Cigs

[Oil_Man]

why does smokin hurt like a bitch, but smokin weed doesnt hurt? in fact weed really relaxes me the second it goes down

[pass_the_dubbie]

Heh...around here its only 1 joint = 1 cig as in one cigs worth of tobacco is in a joint. Out of interest does anyone know if this crap has been printed in more reliable newspapers in the u.k like the Times? Most people reading the daily mail and the sun etc are doing it for page 3.

ya man that irks me just as much as it does you. that is just plain bullshit. my friends dad found out he smoked weed before and he has been saying a bunch of shit to scare him, and he just pulled that one outa his ass recently. ignorance is all it is.

first off i think this study is BS.

however it happens to be true there is still the fact a marjoirty (correct me if im wrong) marijuana smokers only smoke 1-2 joints a day. how many cigs to tobacco smokers smoke a day? 10-20?

you do the math 2 joints x 5 = 10

so really if this study WAS correct then you'd still be only getting as much tar as or less tar than cig smokers on a daily basis. plus not everyone smokes weed everday, cig smokers do. so you do that math and eventually it comes out that weed is a lot less tarry than cigs :rastasmoke:

lol sorry for the rant but this is something i always try to explain to my friends so i just had to make a post. peace :jointsmile:

^^
and especially if you smoke outta a nice bong, itll definately minimize the tar as well...i love my cyclone

Guess what, you are inhaleing smoke into your lungs. Humans arent supposed to breath smoke. Smoke damages the lung cells over time regardless of what is being smoked. If you are concerned with the condition of your lungs, you shouldnt be smoking anything at all.

There is a lot to be said for vaporizers!

I admit it, i read The Sun - not so much for page3 [i've got the net for that] but more because it's funny.
