Thx for posting that, It's something i worry about because of my bad lungs (I have a chest infection, I think i had a cold i left too long, But i've had to stop smoking MJ)

Im not a tobacco smoker, Hate the shit..

I'm still not sure either way what the odds of it causing cancer are, I just wonder though since Bob Marley did die of lung cancer. however, I dont' know if he smoked tobacco as well.

bob marley died of skin cancer not lung cancer... dude that whole lung cancer thing was a rumor started [ prob by the fed's] to scare young white boys away from weed kinda like in the 20's and 30' when they said if your duaghter smokes weed she will sleep with jazz musician's it's sad how we keep allowing bad history to repeat it's self

Actually, if my memory serves me tonight....Bob broke a toe while playing soccer. It wasn't treated correctly, and eventually became cancerous.

He kept touring and not getting traditional treatments. I saw him in concert in either 1980 or 1981, and he was looking horrible, from the spreading cancer, which had overtaken his body.

He died in 1981, I believe, from that cancer. It wasn't actually skin cancer from what I remember, but it certainly wasn't lung cancer.

That was about the time I was winding down my music contacts and radio contacts, and I remember how sad everyone was. Just like when Stevie Ray Vaughn died.

I was wrong about Marley's cancer.

I did a google search and found that he did indeed die from a malignant melanoma, which grew under his toenail. It was misdiagnosed at first as a broken toe, so it was allowed to grow, and it spread to his brain and other organs. He was advised to have his toe amputated, but his religious faith wouldn't allow it. So he sought alternative treatments.

So you were right about him dying from skin cancer.

I recall having to talk to a dj I worked with, and he was really shaken up when we saw Bob in concert that last time. He was so skinny and sick looking from the cancer. But he kicked ass singing!!!!

His last show was in pittsburg 1981, in which he capped it off with a KILLER "Redemption Song". Ironically, it was argueably his best version of Redemption Song.
