Cigarettes or Weed ? Which is worse for your lungs?
Well this question has been asked over and over again. Just do a quick Google search on it and you will see what I mean.
And there seems to be just as many opinions. However it is very hard to find an unbiased opinion on the matter. Many people who do not use marijuana, feel that since Tobacco is legal and marijuana is not, then obviously marijuana is worse for you,because if it werent then it would be legal. (Yes, I have read statements such as this before.)
Then on the other hand you have the users stating that cigarette smoke is however many times worse for you because of all the chemicals in it, namely Tar and Nicotine. With no one really having any sources for their info.
People also tend to get off topic and start rambling about all kinds of stuff, I am only interested about the effects on the lungs.
I saw one post that caught my eye, It read "This is the stupidest topic ever. Why not just ask which is worse for you, eating rat poison or drinking bleach?"
Well this is a perfect example of "blind opinion". This person obviously does not use either one, so their "opinion" means absolute squat to me. What I am trying to ascertain from this is, which one is worse for the lungs? We already know that neither of them are "good".
We also know that neither cigarettes nor marijuana will kill you as quickly as drinking bleach or eating rat poison, so lets keep the comments as "intelligent" and on topic as possible.
So, of course anyone can chime in with their "opinion", but if you have some good resources to back your arguments then that would be great. I myself am going to go looking for info on the matter and see what I can dig up. Maybe together we can solve this mystery, or at the very least come up with multiple "opinions" and be no further than we are right now.
Hope to here from Y'all .

just googling about the effect of marijuana on the lungs..
"healthy men who have smoked the equivalent of one joint daily for seven years have a lung capacity that is 1.6 percent higher than that of otherwise healthy non-marijuana-smoking men"
"If you smoke marijuana, you’re inhaling 20 times as much ammonia as you would inhale by smoking the same amount of tobacco"(sounds like BS to me)
People who smoke marijuana three times a week are about half as likely as non-marijuana smokers to be obese.
(I know this one isn't about the lungs as you wanted this conversation to stay on topic,but I had to post this,Just because it gives you the munchies,your gonna get fat?How about stop eating Mcdonalads every day.... Bullshit.)
I am still doing research on this topic, it is one that is very interesting to me, I was a tobacco smoker for almost 9 years and I quit about 70-80 days ago using good ol' mary jane.

Weed still has negative effects on the lungs. you might not get cancer but you damn sure won't be running track either. just like drinking soda fucks up your teeth.

Think about it, "Cigars" aren't suppose to be inhaled... You took a nice "cancer free" product(marijuana)and shit all over it when you put it inside a blunt. Have fun with your cancer.Blunts all the way!!!

weed has alot of tar because of all the oil on it. thats why your bongs and pipes get so dirty so fast
tar from marijuana is said to have less chemicals in it than tobbaco smoke so it is easier for the body to break down. Either way smoking anything is harmful for your lungs, just being in traffic is harmful for your lungs.
4/20 is an everyday-day
The term blunt denotes to smoking weed sin tobacco, not necessarily using 'blunt' tobacco leaves. In this case smoked with paper only!!! Terminology can be confusing !!!
Cigarettes are way worse for your entire body than weed. If I don't smoke a cigarette for a long period of time, when I light one up I fucks me all up. Makes me light headed, tired, and nauseous. If I smoke a lot throughout the day, my chest hurts and I generally feel like shit at the end of the day. I cut down a lot on smoking the last few years and only smoke between 2-5 cigarettes a day now. Cigs are BAD. I couldn't smoke enough weed in a day to make me feel like that.
