    not really, the amount of cannbis smoked vs. the amount tobbacco is a pretty big difference, but yeah your lung tissue does heal, takes 7 years i think to heal completley

    studies show that:

    within two weeks to three months of stopping smoking (daily or weekly) substances like marijuana, your circulation improves, walking becomes easier, lung function increases by around 30%. the cough that you get now, is your lungs beginning to regrow the little hairs that clean the shit outta your lungs. they cover it with mucus and sweep it upwards, so you can cough it out.

    within five years your lung cancer rate is half of what it would have been if you weren't smoking stuff. within 10 years your lung cancer rate will be similar to what it would be if you'd never smoked pot.

    so the answer is yes. :)

    someone who gets high every day via smoking is probably doing the same damage to his lungs as a cigarette smoker since potheads hold in the smoke.. least thats my assumption

    ive been smoking for 6 years and I havent noticed any problems. but if you are so worried about lung cancer stop smoking and bake that shit into food. no possible way of getting any kind of cancer when you do that

    Yeah those cigarettes are pretty bad for you... smoking them after a bowl gets you even more ripped though. I wish no one showed me that cause I hate cigarettes and I smoke them a lot now.

    That explains me coughing, It always sounds like Im hackin up a lung, but this can also be because I smoked pot when I had broncitas, which I had a few week ago, the cough now is weakening daily.

    Well technically you could still get cancer from baking the food. The cancer causing chemicals are in the weed, so weither you smoke it or eat it they are still being released into your body. But eating it is definately safer in my book.

    When u smoke pot u are putting 3 times as much tar in ur lungs then a ciggaret, dunno why people think pot is healthyer then tobacco wen it burns hotter its more sticky tar and there is lots more tar anyway...

    If you stop now and don't smoke for the rest of your life it may repare but I really doubt that's going to happen ;)

    actually the cancer causing chemicals are in the smoke, it turns to a tar like substance in your lungs. Can you show me where you found out that the carcinogens are in the weed itself?

    yeh i hate realizing that im doing damage to myself when i smoke, but also i am glad i quit smoking cigs 7 years ago, and have never looked back, and currently i cannot smoke green, but ill be smoking again in two weeks or less i hope to God

    if things go as they are planned out right now and have been planned out since two weeks ago,
    personally i believe that if youre a non smoker other than soem green now and then and if you just quit one day then i think that youll recover and heal up alot faster than ppl say or think,


    good luck

    pot isint less harmful, its just a different pattern of smoking. for example a pothead might get together with his friends and light up a couple of joints/bowls. a ciggarette smoker could smoke a pack a day or more. you toke to get high and you smoke ciggs to get a nicotine fix. basically if you smoke a joint everyday its like smoking 3 ciggarettes tar wise. another thing to point out is that reefer lacks many of the poisionous chemicals that are in tobacco.

    Yeh i know but a lot of pot smokers smoke it in pipes and smoke em often still anyway wen u smoke it in a pipe its like 5 times as much tar and even hotter, all you gotta do is make sure u dont smoke pipes often, mix tobacco in joints, use bongs take breaks and eat it.

    oh who gives a flying fuck?? you only live once so just enjoy life while you can. atleast smoking weed is fun, when you are smoking cigarettes you are killing yourself and not having any fun doing it

    besides, if you are that damn worried about lung cancer you wouldnt be smoking in the 1st place. either quit smoking or bake it into food. Id much rather bake it then quit but I am not worried about lung cancer when I smoke
