MJ vs. Cigarettes

Yes, the lively debate rages on.
How many cigarettes does a normal size joint equal in inhaling bad stuff for you? Or is there even a comparison?
my gf is all worried she will get lung cancer from smoking too much weed (once a day for, say, 5 days a week).
I would love to put her mind at ease, so anyone that can help, would be appreciative.

I heard that marijuana smoke has some property that reduces the harmful effects of the smoke, so I'd say her marijuana smoking is much less harmful than smoking the same amount of tobacco.

scientificly speaking, I couldnt tell you but I can say from my experience I believe that cigarettes have done much more damage to my lungs, cigarettes are actualy addictive.
consider that in schools they'd tell you how one joint is like smoking 10 cigarettes, of course drug programs are notorious for lying but also think about the fact that the average smoker has those 10 cigarettes while you've only had one joint
I hope this post was confusing for you, I'd like a joint but all I have are cigarettes

I've heard that 5 cigarettes is equal to one joint, on both a commercial and a drug-website. Maybe not...

Tobacco is worse with the carbon mono/dioxide but there is more ammonia in the MJ. They seem about even to me.

I've just been looking stuff up online, checking around.
Looks like it's not been proven to be cancerous at all yet, but there has been studies that say it could be pre-cancerous. maybe.

Anyone else?

If you do some searching here (or elsewhere) you will find links to articles that show the THC in marijuana actually slowing or stopping cancer cell growth. Search...

Thanks for the info.
Now, anyone else want to post some interesting links? I've done a bit of research on it, but it doesn't give me a mj vs. cigarettes comparison. Only that MJ has not been proven to cause cancer.

Well I think hands down a cigerette is much more harmful to your body in general than a single joint.
YES it is true that one joint contains much more TAR than one commercial tobacco cigerette, but there are many more harmful cancer-causing carcenogens in a cigerette than you could even dream of.
Also from first hand experience... I had smoked cigs for about 8 months straight, heavily, usually a full flavored marboloro, or however you spell it, after I did stop smoking (stupid of me to even start!), I coughed up some of the BLACKEST NASTIEST SHIT ever. I have quit smoking mj a few times and hacked up some stuff and every once in a while still do, but the shit i coughed up after cigerettes scared me.
It is no doubt that inhaling any form of smoke into our precious lungs is bad for you.

From what I gather, the reason tobacco is so cancerous is because the nicotine causes dying cells to stay around instead of regenerating, giving them the chance to mutate into cancer. This is probably just a theory.
I don't think anyone has ever gotten cancer from cannabis alone, but the tar and heat are still not good for your lungs.

I want to quit smoking tobacco, I wish I never started...quitting weed was much easier, but I was never a heavy pot smoker anyway. I will smoke weed again sometime, but I am waiting until next month..well legal reasons of course. But I think smoking cigarettes sucks, if you are gonna smoke something, you might as well get high while you do it.. Besides weed is good for medicine as well, it helps me out when I feel sick with an illness of any kind. I will always love marijuana...gotta love the cannabis!!

Apples and oranges, nucka.
But overall I know that cannabis is a lot less detrimental to your health than manufactured tobacco products for sure.
