Does smoking cigarettes toughen up your lungs for smoking weed??

The lungs do adapt to taking in smoke, but this is only a suppression of the cough-reflex, not a “toughening up”. Both will damage your lungs by filling them with ash, tar and other highly toxic chemicals.

Is weed better for your lungs than cigarettes?

Q: I smoke weed now and then and though its obviously not better for your mind I thought good old natural chemical free organic home-grown weed would be (still bad) but better for your lungs than chemical filled cigarettes, But I’ve recently heard that its four times as bad!!! Anyone got any ideas?

A: Weed is less bad for you for a variety of reasons.One, numerous studies show (links in sources) that there is no significant increase in the likelihood of getting lung cancer because of smoking weed, while cigs obviously do. Yes, chronic smoking (multiple times a day) can cause bronchitis over extended periods of time, but generally, cigs will produce harmful effects much sooner. I know both weed smokers and cig smokers, and after about three months of cigs, one kid couldn’t run for more than 30 seconds without losing his breath, while a bunch of the weed smokers are on varsity sports.Two, generally, one does not smoke weed as often as a cigerette addict. While there are exceptions, most weed smokers smoke occasionally, such as once or twice a weekend, or maybe four times a week. This is compared to cig smokers who can smoke up and over a pack a day.Furthermore, there are many ways to filter harmful pollutants out of weed, such as smoking through a bong or with a vape. This will get rid of a significant amount of tar and other bad stuff. While this is possible to do with tobacco as well, I’ve never heard of anyone vaping tobacco.Lastly, there’s some people (scientist) who believe that a significant portion of the harmful effects of tobacco are caused by the pesticides sprayed on them. This does not exist to nearly the same extent in weed, especially in indoor grown weed.A majority of the people who tell you weed is harmful no little or nothing about the topic, and are simply repeating what they heard from other ignorant people. Think about it. If weed was really worse for your lungs than cigs, don’t you think D.A.R.E. and Above The Influence ads would exploit that and say that in every commercial? A majority of “facts” about weed are based on dated and archaic studies that were extremely biased.I’m not saying marijuana is harmless. I am simply saying it is not as bad for you as some people make it out to be, and it is certainly safer than cigs.

whats worse for your lungs ? cigarettes or weed ?

Q: straight up, i smoke weed everyday. mostly swag which is shitty weed. my friend told me one joint is the same as 4 cigarettes, because a joint doesn’t have a filter. but im a social smoker, i used to not smoke cigarettes as much as i do now(one pack/3 or 4 days).so which is really ruining my lungs ?first off, marijuana isnt bad for you. its not physically addictive, i know what being addicted to something feels like and im not going back thats why i smoke WEED. secondly you guys are no help:(

A: There is really very little difference. Both have just as many carcinogenic (cancer causing) chemicals in them. None of the studies claiming that one is worse than the other have any evidence backing them up. However, I would quit cigarettes. You are already smoking weed, so cigarettes won’t give you anything in terms of a buzz, and should only be smoked when you don’t have weed and want to smoke. Weed also contains various cancer preventing chemicals which would arguably make it safer to smoke than cigarettes, though the fact is, if you’re from the UK, you’re probably putting tobacco in your spliffs too, so one joint will be about the same as 2 or 3 cigarettes.If you are coughing a lot, wheezing, or having trouble breathing, cut down or stop smoking both cigarettes and weed for a while. Continue only when you are feeling healthier.If you want to ask any more questions, feel free to contact me via my profile, I’ll answer anything you want to know. 🙂
