Cigarettes are worse!

Cigarettes, so called because the tobacco and other chemicals in them are very bad for you and people who smoke have such a higher rate of developing lung cancer, and other cancers.

Yes...legalized for both. Marijuana is actually less dangerous for recreational use than alcohol--which is legal. Plus...the government could make a lot of money from legalization.

They both are lethal long term. Smoking can be worse because it is harmful to women and their fetus if pregnant. Smoking causes many forms of cancer. Smoking in public is harmful to others. Smoking leaves behind a foul sent on clothes and areas heavily smoked in. Smoking causes constriction of arteries leading to many cardiologic and lung problems as well as other organ problems as a result. I can go on and on about smoking. Now McDonalds can cause some very serous health problems also. However, it largely depends on what you eat from McDonalds. In addition, daily exercise can help offset some of the detrimental effects of McDonalds food. Atherosclerosis is a major risk as well as obesity, which can all be offset by daily exercise. The documentary "Super Size It" shows how fast a heavy-duty diet from McDonalds can acutely damage your body. Damage once it is down to your body can be very difficult to recover from especially if you live a sedentary lifestyle. The tar and infiltrates that accumulate in your lungs from smoking will be expelled and your lungs will return to normal in about five years if you remain smoke free. However, cancer may have already have taken hold somewhere in the body. The same with a poor diet, many of the damage can be repaired over the course of years with the correct diet and exercise. However, once serous damage is done to the heart from arthrosclerosis there is no way to repair the damage to your heart. In short, smoking affects you and the others around you. A bad diet only affects you.\n\n\nHope this helps!

Weed is not bad for health. Smoking is bad. Every kind of smoke is bad. People smoke weed, so it is bad, because you smoke. Just like alcohol if you use to much it is bad for the soul, again to much........is with everything.....\nIn Holland it is legal and besides smoking you can make tea or eat it in a cake. This way they never found something bad about it. If weed is bad then alcohol is a 1000x more bad to your health.\n\nI really don't understand why the world (specially the US and French) are so panicking about this. Worldwide we have 100x more alcohol victims then Weed victims. Alcohol is far more damaging for the soul and body then weed. More people die of alcohol usage and tobacco. Do you know that worldwide more people die of air pollution then weed and the Bush still don't want to anything about it. \n"Why people do nothing about air-pollution when they know it is not good for your body and soul? (Is the next question)\n \nDo you know that some people even can have benefits with weed and some don't have to take the chemical painkillers.\nAre there any benefits with tobacco or alcohol? \n\nI used it a couple of times(8 years ago), but didn't like it at all.\nI'm not for or against weed, but if you be strict about what people can and can't use, then the first things who should be forbidden is tobacco and alcohol.\nReally can't understand why people every time keep saying how bad weed is, but how do they know. Brainwashed by the government. The government keep saying how bad weed and it is illegal. So people just accept it. What is your own thought?\nWhy people never ask: Why people keep smoking or drinking while they know it is really damaging the body.\nBecause to many people use it, so it is accept as normal.\nWeed is not!\nLook to does people who sue the tobacco companies. \n"They didn't know smoking was bad to there health" \nYEH, kiss my *ss. 25 years ago when I was a little kid I knew.\nSo the real problem with those people is there brain. They are just pure DUMB.\nWorld wake up

Well, I've read that a drink(wine or beer) or two a day is actually good for your heart. Marijuana is helpful to some people who are being treated with chemotherapy or people with glaucoma. But moderation is the key with anything. In my opinion, alcohol is just as dangerous or even more so than alot of the other drugs that are illegal. Heck, alcohol is the only one where the withdrawls can actually kill you as oppose to any other drug.

Marijuanna contains more tar than cigarettes. I believe smoking a joint is somewhere around smoking 3 cigarettes. (This is off of memory from a speach I did in high school, so don't quote me).\n\nCigarettes on the other hand ALSO contain chemicals such as Benzine, Acetolyne, Formaldahyde, and tons of other poisons.\n\nSince most people smoke less joints per day than cigarettes, it is probably the safer option. Definetly if you are in Canada and don't need to worry about being caught.

i would say the cigarettes i hate peeps that dont know about pot acting like they are experts on the subject  cigarettes are way higher in carcegins due to all the chemicals that are added to them like amonium chloride, and cyanide , lets not forget the gun powder the ciggy companies add to the paper so it stays lit cigarettes contain over 160 carcigens so the person who said the ciggies is wrong wrong wrong goto www.phillipmorris.com or www.norml.com and u can find information regarding these issues also marijuania has been shown to slow the progression of alziemers so put that in your pipes and smoke it

no it wouldnt change about marijuana because it should be legalized it is a calming drug that when used responsibly can be very effective in clearer thought and action cigarettes have no poitive side effects so they should be made illegal with the proper guidelines and limitations on legalized mariijuna the profit would be huge the risk a minimum compared to cigarettes and people would be much happier but we live in a world run by soccer moms and protestants who a long ass time ago decided everything should be made illegal, eventually we chose alcohol to be brought back but not marijuana because of the racist attitude towards native americans and it has sadly stuck here in america marijuana should be legalized and cigarettes should be outlawed

Neither is healthier than the other.  Both cause cancer...just different forms of it.  With chew, you can get mouth or tongue cancer (quite disfiguring after surgery), as well as cancer in the lining of your stomach, your esophagus, and into your bladder\n\nBest bet, ditch tobacco all together.  You will live longet and healthier.

Marijuana is constantly in the news and more and more scientific evidence is pointing towards its use causing serious and permanent psychologically damage.\n\nOk!\n\nHow many people die from smoking cigarettes or from drinking themselves to death or other when these idiots try and drive etc?\n\nExcellent question!  \n\nAll three have very, very detrimental effects on our health and the health of others around us and it seems insane to 'point the finger' only at marijuana.\n\nAt the end of the day its your informed choice.\n\nRespect other, but do as you please!

medical marijuana or Marinol

both are, any smoke that is breathed by someone not smoking that cigartee.  For example I have asthma, so alot of smoke, or at times just a little can make me physcially sick.

If you smoke the same amount, probably weed will be worse for you. It has no filters, unless you use a bong or something and since it gets you high, it increases your chance of getting involved in an accident.\n \nBut of course most ppl will smoke far more ciggarettes than joints over an extended period of time, so you rarely hear of ppl getting cancer or other deseases due to weed. And cigarrets are cheaper.

If you drink too much Alcohol, you become labeled an Alcoholic. But that doesn't affect me unless you get behind the wheel of a car...\n\nAs for Cigarettes, they just make you stink,(especially when I have to walk through it on my way into the mall, grocery store, drug store, etc...) and the smoke then pollutes the air, my lungs, my friends lungs, family, pets, etc... Who cares about what the smoker is doing to themselves!\n\nSo, I'd have to say they both rank as the same evils in my book.
