Slow the testing down.Check the lung cancer rates of Jamaicans. EXTREMELY LOW. The lowest on God's flat earth.

This is a pretty interesting read. It's from 2005. They said they were not able to observe a connection between smoking cannabis and lung cancer, although there was cellular damage. I pretty much believe anything carcinogenic can promote the growth of cancer cells, whether it be smoke, burnt chicken, whatever... you name it lol. Pretty much anything good. I stay eating barbecue and burning jibbas though.

Neither does tobacco, those chemicals are byproducts from the combustion. They are present in most plants. Nowadays they only add amonia to increase nicotine absorption in the lungs

what about cigarettes? they are legal. If you think the Gov is concerned about health your right bad health. There is money in sickness, cancer, etc. As long as they can reap $$$ and legally kill the people or peasants.

I believe you about your mom and copd. my mom likewise had same experience.
I got covid in December. I continued to Vap. It made me cough up the mucus that was laying in my lungs. the Vap dilated my bronch tubes that shit came out. I did not have it as bad as my wife and she doesnt enjoy weed. So i believe it helps the lungs to Vap . no combustion for me anymore. Im spoiled to the taste, smell with no tar and smoke to gag.

People who live outdoors and sit by the campfire on a regular basis, inhale a bunch of smoke particulates, too. But then they are also usually people who hike in the fresh air, as well. People who work in stores or factories around fabrics, also inhale a bunch of particulates....and the list goes on and on. But, obviously, lighting up a joint and directly inhaling them is going to add up a lot faster. Just limit your smoking and use a bong or some kind of water-filtered device. Those will remove a bunch of the larger particulates that would otherwise be inhaled through joint smoking. Bottom line: Something is already in us that will eventually come out and get us. Inevitably, we will die. Enjoy the ride!

Concentrating anything carbon based, burning it and inhaling it in you're lungs will eventually cause damage. Cannabis also deposits tar in you're lungs, whether or not it's as bad as a cigarette is debatable

my 2c would be what about the fact that chewing tobacco causes mouth cancers? seems then like cancer can be related to something in tobacco regardless of how you take the tobac in. would chewing marijuana cause mouth cancer? a fair amount of people only eat it or use tinctures but have there been any studies? I wonder if chewing cocoa leaves causes increased cancer rates in aborigines.? if taht were true I would think it increases the possibility that the connection between drugs and cancer is broader than just nicotine. versus just looking at inhaling smokes of any kind, which seems to be anywhere from super bad to extremely super bad for you.

Actually, it depends on how the chewing tobacco is processed. For example, Sweden has high rates of "snus" usage but low rates of oral cancer. The reason being, the tobacco used in Swedish snus is pasteurized right after harvest, thus eliminating the fermentation that occurs in other chewing tobacco. This matters because it halts the production of nitrosomines that occurs during fermentation. Swedish Snus is a great option for nicotine users who are interested in harm reduction.
