    FTA "Smoking marijuana alone though was not associated with the same increase in risk."

    I rest my case.

    They never said who was more at risk b/t just cigarette smokers and marijuana smokers. So what about the people who never smoked cigarettes but smokes marijuana? They never tell you that!

      “Although our study had insufficient power to show an association between marijuana alone and increased risk for COPD, it remains uncertain whether marijuana by itself is harmful for the lungs. Larger studies are needed to address this critically important issue in the future.”

      I hereby enthusiastically VOLUNTEER to be a participant in said study!

        When I was experimenting with "Weeds", I could inhale, and hold it . But with cigarettes, If I done that I would cough my head off. Weed is definitely more safer than cigarettes.

        Ok for all you that say Pot in it self doesn't do damage to the lung. You are really blind. Clean out your bong, pipe or the screen after you have smoked an ounce through it. Tell me that some of that tarball doesn't end up in your lung also. (cough, cough)It's 4:20 sorry had to hit the one hitter.
        Pot does cause lung damage whether we want to admit it or not. Pot smokers are like tobbaco executives. Deny Deny Deny.

          More marijuana scare tactics. The laws against pot has ruined more lives then all the bad lungs in the world!
