The number of people using tobacco continues to decline despite industry attempts to jeopardize progress towards stamping out cigarettes and other such products, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a report published on Tuesday.
The reality is no, cannabis probably doesn’t block carcinogens. Nor is it more harmful to your lungs than tobacco. But it’s not really clear that it’s less harmful than a filtered cigarette. I think it is probably a bit healthier of a habit just in that people usually smoke much lower quantities. But if you take a smoker and stoner each smoking 10 times a day they’re both at a higher risk of lung complications than non-smokers. Also importantly, cannabis is not chemically addictive (it definitely can be an addiction though) whereas nicotine very much so is.
There’s a lot of research disagreeing
