While taking any kind of smoke into your lungs is probably not a good idea, chances are tobacco is worse. Certainly the volume of smoke taken in by the average tobacco user is far greater. More importantly, the vast majority of young people who smoke pot will quit at some point. Most tobacco users do it forever and it contributes to their death.

I have smoked marijuana for a long time, but I never smoked cigarettes. I would be interested in being a part of this study to see if COPD is affecting me.

Marijuana is one of the most helpful herbs available, it almost never causes health issues and only when people do dumb things like use other drugs and drink do they face any real harm. It really is time to consider legalization, it isn’t a game anymore.
