Weed smells better, doesn't cause cancer, and makes life better. You ever played laser tag high?
Marijuana has even cured cancer in some rare instances.


That is blatantly false, and no smoke is good for you. While I do enjoy a good sesh, I still feel it is bad for you if you smoke it. Going around and telling that crap to others is not helping also, only hurting. The reason why people don't get cancer from smoking pot is because they smoke significantly less of it than tobacco. Pot actually is very similar to tobacco in terms of hazardous materials. source
1) of course smoke is bad for you, however there are numerous ways to ingest cannabinoids without smoking it, or limiting the smoke to a negligible health hazard.

2) Cannabinoids have been found to have an effective use in cancer control, and it is proven that Cannabinoids are effective in coping with cancer symptoms/treatment

Tobacco in of itself is not nearly as harmful as cigarettes, however both tobacco and cigarettes kill hundreds of thousands across the globe a year. There has never been a medically recorded death attributed to marijuana/cannabinoids.


There was a study done on cigarette smokers and joint smokers for seven years, with people smoking one cigarette a day or one joint a day.

After seven years, there was no significant lung damage in the marijuana user. Wish I could find the study, heard it on the radio.

This study may help.

But this thread is about cigarettes. Let's not derail it.

I agree that all presidents should serve 2 terms. 1 in office and 1 in prison

Not for me, I hate being around it. But I don't belittle people that smoke.

It's a waste of time and addictive and due to the addiction more expensive then occasional Pot Smoking.
I used to be a heavy Pot Smoker but now just occasional Smoker with friends.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

I smoke... I don't stand by doors at "shopping centers and blow it at little kids though. I also find it highly unlikely that anyone else does either. Quit exaggerating for dramatic effect!


Pretty much this, I smoke, but I take notice of people who don't.

I'm just going to throw out there some scientific articles about Cannabinoids and cancer:

Science!



Anyways, back onto cigarettes, I think it's absolutely ludicrous that it's legal to sell one of the most addictive substances known to man, that also has a strong chance of causing permanent damage and even killing you. Tobacco in of itself, without the chemical cocktail that's added to cigarettes, is not as bad and as such I think it should still be legal.

When I was a kid (maybe 7 or 8) people were still allowed to smoke indoors at restaurants.

I remember this one lady sitting directly behind me and blowing cigarette smoke everywhere. I held my breath when I saw smoke near me and exhaled it all away to get clean air. I thought it was a fun game and I still do that around my friends who smoke. not a big deal.

My lung capacity is just fine.

If others want to do it it's their body to poison. I don't do it though.

Eh, uncured tobacco is a hallucinogen. Smoking more than one cigarette of uncured tobacco can cause death from overdose.

I like toast.

I don't smoke and NEVER plan to. It's disgusting to me (no offence). The effects when you get older are horrid.

Not necessarily uncured, simply without the addition of all the chemicals unique to cigarettes (as opposed to rolling tobacco). But perhaps I have a misconception here.

Their is zero reason to start smoking cigarettes.. Don't know how so many people started and even why they did, it's pointless and has zero positive benefits.

Don't care, but I'm not going to take up the habit.

Made an account in 2006. Visited Bungie.net in 2005. Joined Xbox Live in 2005. It's amazing to see how the site, Bungie, and Halo have evolved over the years. Utterly amazing.

Man, I don't understand why you would want cancer? Seriously...

I am a penguin. Every day I boogie on down to the water, and eat fish. Once, while fishing in the deepest depths, I saw great Cthulhu... And he said to me "Shine, to thine own self be true. They can't tell you what to do once you've gone guru." Also, I should tell you, "slide".

It's something stupid people do because:

They think it relaxes them/ eases stress.

They're too big of -blam!- to kill themselves in a quick and cheap way.

Want to be soooo cool.

From this book source it states and I quote
Uncured tobacco is very potent - the Indians that used it would often pass out after as little as one cigarette, and "communicate with the gods." This type of tobacco should be smoked with caution. The danger here is death from overdose rather than addiction. When used as a ritual narcotic it is not smoked often enough to result in addiction.

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

It's pretty gross-smelling, but to each his own.

It would be much nicer for us all if the recreational consumption of harmful drugs didn't exist as it has caused so much unneeded hassle for the healthcare systems. But I don't care in the slightest if someone wants to take drugs as it is their choice.

Hi! How you doin'?

Sometimes, all you need are a couple giant explosions to get you through the day.

I have a serious problem with people using regular cigarettes in public places; You know, the whole 'unfiltered smoke being breathed in passers by' thing. Solve that and you'd solve my issues with it.
