Do You Mix Tobacco With Your Pot? Think Again

I have noticed a lot of people put tobacco in with their pot it is not a good idea as it can harm your health.

"Marijuana and chronic obstructive lung disease: a population-based study."

Conclusion: "Smoking both tobacco and marijuana synergistically increased the risk of respiratory symptoms and COPD. Smoking only marijuana was not associated with an increased risk of respiratory symptoms or COPD."

I have to agree with the facts. Bottom line is the best and safest way to smoke any type of herb including tobacco is thru a good quality vaporizer. The burning of the herb by direct fire and flame is the culprit for the creation of the tar and nicotine slush going to your lungs. The vaporizer eliminates that since the only thing that is inhaled are the basic alkaloids that form the plant. Folks who go thru long sessions of pot and cigarette smoking at a given night invariably wake up the next morning congested, coughing and feeling like shit. That doesn't happen with vaporizes as around 90% of the crap is eliminated. MHO.

Wait, tobacco is bad for you? When did this happen? Never would have thought!

Tobacco is bad whether it's mixed or not. I thought everyone knew this.

Tobacco doesn't cause cancer.


The radioactive soil the big tobacco companies grow it in does.

Agreed, i think people are aware that smoking tobacco is presently a bad thing.. but i do it anyways

Mixxing tobacco with ganja should be a crime.

Yes. Stone them all!

I have to agree with jonblaze420 to a point. There are other factors which are the introduction of at least 32 proven carcinogen chemicals. Here's is part of an undercover operation/whistle blowing:
Philip Morris Inc.
"R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company
While these ingredients are approved as additives for foods, they were not tested by burning them, and it is the burning of many of these substances which changes their properties, often for the worse. Over 4000 chemical compounds are created by burning a cigarette, many of which are toxic and/or carcinogenic. Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide and ammonia are all present in cigarette smoke. Forty-three known carcinogens are in mainstream smoke, sidestream smoke, or both"

A real tragedy. Stick to the pot, people. Mucha safer and much much more fun

ACSA Radioactive fertilizer It's a well established but little known fact that commercially grown tobacco is contaminated with radiation. The major source of this radiation is phosphate fertilizer.1 The big tobacco companies all use chemical phosphate fertilizer, which is high in radioactive metals, year after year on the same soil. These metals build up in the soil, attach themselves to the resinous tobacco leaf and ride tobacco trichomes in tobacco smoke, gathering in small "hot spots" in the small-air passageways of the lungs.2 Tobacco is especially effective at absorbing radioactive elements from phosphate fertilizers, and also from naturally occurring radiation in the soil, air, and water.3 To grow what the tobacco industry calls "more flavorful" tobacco, US farmers use high-phosphate fertilizers. The phosphate is taken from a rock mineral, apatite, that is ground into powder, dissolved in acid and further processed. Apatite rock also contains radium, and the radioactive elements lead 210 and polonium 210. The radioactivity of common chemical fertilizer can be verified with a Geiger-Mueller counter and an open sack of everyday 13-13-13 type of fertilizer (or any other chemical fertilizer high in phosphate content).

So this thread is basically weed doesn't need to be entered into the equation and it's just a thread about the negative side of smoking tobacco..

I don't know. I smoke tobacco too. There's safer kinds than the big name brands, but for now I just can't stop smoking newports. I love life and I'm not gonna stop enjoying because someone is telling me to fear cancer or something. Fuck that NO FEAR.

I've never heard of anyone mixing tobacco with weed. I smoke tobacco, but it would ruin the taste and enjoyment of smoking herb. Why would anyone do this to begin with?

in case your wife lets you smoke weed in the house but not cigs, then when she's at work you can light up a 1/2 and 1/2 in the house.

How about like, nearly the whole of europe Why would anyone put blue cheese with their steak? It's called peoples personal preference, they tend not all to be the same as yours.

ya lol joke amongst friends, I always roll joints with straight weed, haha we all came to a declaration that my Js were just better then other Js (rolled with a mix)

my cousin in laws from hawaii are way into mixing weed and tobacco. i tried it and liked it, but won't be doing that again unless they're around.

Don't get me wrong, i'd much rather have been brought up in a place where it was just weed and got accustomed to that instead of an addiction Mixing with tobacco is just the way of life for the majority of smokers in the uk and around europe partly because while it's not hard to get, it's incredibly expensive and often quite crap, adding tobacco spreads it out further, and that's just how it is. Alas it has gotten me onto cigarettes, it's either that or everytime you get a craving you just have a joint and pretend you're not addicted to nicotine oh well

What do you mean mix?
As in roll one in a joint or smoke a joint then a ciggerette?
