What he forgot to mention is that most tobacco smokers will smoke a LOT more than most pot smokers, making the comparisson negligable. When I smoked cigarettes as a full-time smoker, I would smoke two packs a day (40 cigarettes). To get the damage, by this doctor's math, I would have to smoke 8 big joints in a day, every day. Geez, that's a lot of reefer.

If you just smoke a "J" a day, (the equivalent of 5 cigarettes), which is a pretty normal amount for modest smokers, your lungs will repair any damage you make to them pretty quickly.
