dont' worry too much about lung cancer.
I realise alot of the smokers here and other places are concerned with lung cancer. Afterall inhaling any combusted plant matter into your lungs is unhealthy. But unhealthy does not mean it will cause cellular DNA mutations necessary to produce abnormal cell growth. We really don't know what causes cancer in this case but it sure isn't tar. If we understand that cancer is an actual DNA mutation of the cell then it becomes clear that for cacer to occur there must be something present in the smoke to actually affect the DNA or cause damage to the lung tissue for such a long period of time and so consistently that the cells finally mutate. Well, nicotine is isolated as being it. Simple google research will show how radioactive tobacco is and how long it's redioactive particles stay in the lungs. It's this type of cumulative damage from tobacco that can cause cancer in genetically susseptible individuals.
I would encourage the reading of this link

It gives a very clear explanation. To date one thing we know in science and medicine is that radiation is a guaranteed to split and mutate your dna. How much you smoke is how much you absorb. It has therefore been shown that those smoking cannabis in joints usually mix them with tobacco. Even so, those that mix tobacco and cannabis have a significantly lower incidence of lung cancer. The consesus must be that cannabis has properties which protect against cancer, and we all know it does. So if you're using a vaporiser, good for you, but it's not necessary, but if it makes you feelmore secure the go for it.The Observer Reviewed by The Observer on . dont' worry too much about lung cancer.
