Cigarette smoke

I've seen this question floating around the interwebz

"Is pot smoke harsher than cigarette smoke?"

I've seen a lot of propaganda sites (DARE, ATI) saying that is but when I smoke pot it feels a lot better than smoking a cigarette. I can hardly even feel the smoke when I inhale it but I see and shitload when I exhale.

Cigarettes feel to me to be much harsher but that might be because I smoke pot more.. Can anyone clarify this for me, I'm curious.

:sifone:

 

I'v always wonder the same thing. I heard it's worse then cigs

"Otherwise 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."

This study came out a few weeks ago. There's a lot more good stuff for pot smokers in the study. Check it out.

And don't smoke cigarettes.

 

neither are "harsh". both are made to be pleasant to smoke. low quality pot or cigs are harsh and taste bad, just depends on how bad they really are. good cigs are more "harsh" than good weed (in the sense that you cant take too big of drags and still have a pleasant drag.)
IME, cigs - more harsh - fa sho

 

There's this article....... not exactly a "harsh vs. not harsh" look at the subject but of the damaging effects between the two.

I've heard smoking pot burns your cilia and that's why it can feel more harsh, I sure believe it when I hit a gb.

BUT smoking pot isn't bad for your lung tissue, and pot smokers perform better than non-smokers on lung tests (as recently proven by the AMA)

 

Yea i don't find either like harsh vs harsh or anything.
But i do find weed smoke much more pleasant than nicotine..

Even hits that make me cough for an hour.

 

I smoke menthol and its harsh on my lungs , pot smoke doesn't bother me as much as ciggy smoke

 

Smoke is not good for your lungs for the most part. Marijuana has not been linked to lung cancer but it can cause little holes in the lungs of heavy users. I would imagine cigarette smoke is much worse; it has a lot of additives and a ton of statistics show it is much more malignant.

 

What everyone else said, plus the fact that cigarettes have a ton of additives so you aren't just smoking tobacco leaves, you're smoking dangerous chemicals.

 

I bet you the old-school bartenders who worked for 20 to 30 years in heavy inside cigarette smoking pubs wish it was weed smoke.

 

There was a bartender at this divey pool hall that was notorious for selling cigarettes to minors - my friends and I used to go there after school and he would sell us cigarettes but he would always lecture us first. He would take a white rag and wipe the bar, the walls, etc and when the cloth wiped up black grit he told us thats what our lungs looked like and what his lungs looked like as a result of owning a bar for so many years.

Yet he continued selling cigarettes to minors and continued to allow smokers to smoke in his bar lol.

 

Nicotine, its a motherfucker.

Though the other 4,000 chemicals can't help.

are just a few to start...

 

i had my first cigarette in like 6 weeks today. i felt like all kinds of garbage for a solid two hours afterwards.
if i went without pot for 6 weeks, i'd be feeling all kinds of awesome after the first hit.

 

I took a hit of bubble hash and weed with some keef on top through a bub with a diffusing perk and it felt like I ate food.

 

As far as sensation (not damage) goes, cigs, especially filters, don't cause the same pot "harsh", which is usually caused by the smokes physical form, but they cause a different type of chemically feeling pain, which leads to later soreness and pain for me.
