Yes. Depends on how much tobacco you put in your spliffs. No tobacco = less risk of cancer.

Yes, the carcenogens (sp?) are in the smoke, not what your smoking so there is still just as much chance.

LOL yeah 8)

Also that thing about most smokers smoke the dirty shit as well so it can be hard to tell whats causing the problems.

people smoke packs of cigarrettes... think about the physical equivalent of weed... no one smokes that much bud!

Yes but as has been said a thousand times before, its the fact you hold the weed down for so much longer than tobacco that makes the difference.

ya it might make like a point persentage change in the harm that marijuana causes, but really luke is right it is quik relvent the physical difference, and it take like seven years of smoking to cause cancer, like chain smoking 7 years. There is no way someone could smoke close to the amount of tabacco that is and if they did it would not only be lung cancer they suffered from casue that would have to fuck your mind up a little. i mena a cigerette has to have like a little less than a gram in it, and chian smokers smoke like 15-23 a day.... nuff said

smokign 3 joints is eqivalent to smoking 20 cigs, and cigs give you a 1/4 chance of cancer
weed on the other hand causes 3/4 chance of gettin cancer, higher risks for women too

we've all been told a million times that 3 spliffs a day is the equivelant of 20 cigarettes, but how the fuck can they research that? people put varying ammounts of tobacco in joints (or in my case none at all :lol: ) and different types of weed have varying potencies, cigarettes have varying tar and carbon monoxide levels, and obviously joints come in all motherfucking shapes and sizes, so the term spliff if very fucking general, so that research counts for jack shit!
