Cigarettes And Marijuana

[LiamShelley96]

Hey im 15 and been smoking both since i was 14, was wondering if there was any people who have smoked them both or one of them for long period of time and has it affected your fitness much

ive heard there is new study's out that marijuana dosent affect your lungs much at all, thats if you have a filter and rez and stuff dosen't go into your lungs ?
so basicly any info would be great :)

[CalicoCat]

Well I don't know about such "studies" that marijuana doesn't affect your health in anyway... I have had many many people here and there through my years of smoking marijuana say that there has been a proven test of blah blah blah about it, whether it be for it or against it.

So based on that.. Mostly word of mouth and the internet (which equally as manipulative when it comes to stuff like that)

So that just leaves me with my own experience.. I used to smoke weed every single day.. Right when I woke up, before work, after work and then before bed.. Every day for two years. Which is A LOT.. Had to stop because of another nasty drug habbit I had, so I stopped for a few months to get on track with the rest of my body.. Thought it would be fine but then when I tried back up again.. I went through a severe anxiety attack (one that is potentially life altering thats how scary it can be), not only that but I got a lung infection afterwards... So for me, I believe the hype about it being potentially harmful for you.

Marijuana isn't going to affect your health.
Some people say they get a cough or get shortness of breath a lot, however i haven't felt one of those once since i've been smoking.
I don't smoke cigarettes, those are going to decrease your lung function. And give you cancer and all the same shit you've heard from your health teacher.

Actually cannabis smoke contains seven times more tar and carbon monoxide than cigarettes do. Neither are good for you.

Just because you don't feel "anything" now.. Doesn't mean you wont eventually or if you ever do. I'm not saying its a forsure thing that you will be irreversibly damaging your health.. I don't know your body.. Only you do. I for one though am 20 years old and definitely feel the ware and tare of smoking weed in my mid teens.

Nicotine causes the lungs to restrict, further hampering the Cilia. Marijuana may produce more tar but the lungs are more able to remove it. This makes their effect about the same, both are bad.

Also remember, smokers like myself smoke might one joint a day, but don't forget I'll smoke many times more cigarettes than I will joints, making the effect of cigarettes much worse. This means if you smoke cigarettes occasionally or for sheer enjoyment you aren't likely to get cancer. Medically you're not even considered a "smoker" if you smoke less than five per day.


Cigarettes are much worse than Marijuana, no doubt. But I hate how people think single cigarettes will get you addicted and cause cancer.

I've smoked both weed and cigarettes... cigarettes alot longer than weed and am already feeling the effects of doing it while running, playing football and basketball. I've quit doing both and have to agree with the above posters neither are good for you.

That almost feels like what people say about heroin except that one is true.. Its literally impossible to get addicted by the first cigarette you smoke, mainly because no one knows how to smoke a cigarette on the first whim and your lungs would never be adjusted yet to being able to contain the fumes.

Yes, except the Physically addiction potential for Heroin versus cigarettes makes Heroin addictive after a few uses (as any Opiate) and it could take packs upon packs or crash-course smoking of cigarettes to become truely addicted.

[LiamShelley96]

Yeah ive been smoking for just over a year about 5 smokes a day and probably a pack every time i drink and i don't feel addicted to cigarettes, but all the stuff i hear on the internet about weed and lung impacts, no negative like health impacts just poor lungs but thanks been helpful

[johngotti]

youll feel it when you stop consistantly using them

Smoking marijuana is healthy, but smoking cigs is dangerous.

Vah, vat logic.

Have you ever heard of someone getting cancer just from smoking joints?
Yeah, neither have i.

[Neverender]

Don't be so illogical.

Someone might smoke one joint a day, but smoke 20 cigarettes.

Cigarette smokers smoke gratuitously more than Cannabis smokers, hence higher cancer rates. And it isn't anything in the Cigarettes either, as all smoke from burning plant matter is carcinogenic, be it tobacco, cannabis or wood smoke.

Okay first of all not once did I ever single out cancer as a direct result of smoking marijuana.. "DONT SMOKE POT YOU WILL GET CANCER AND DIE". Thats exactly how you are making it sound.. So be careful as to what you say. Secondly there is NUMEROUS amounts of other ailments and illnesses you can obtain from smoking either one of the them or both. No one ever said it was a for sure thing that you would get them but they are possibilities in life. To say marijuana wont do ANY damage is complete denial and you look stubborn. Not to mention the fact that the only valid point either one of you came up with is that you simply know for a matter of fact that it doesn't do ANY damage whatsoever!
Well fuck i for one am convinced now..

Okay so then if no one - or at least most people - don't smoke a harmful amount of cannabis in one sitting, then should it really be classified as harmful?
Cigarette smokers do smoke a lot more, yes. However cigarettes are also more addicting, and typically no one is going to smoke a non harmful amount of cigarettes for a very long time, while people who smoke cannabis usually do.
That for me classifies marijuana as a non-harmful substance.

Lol okay, you must not be reading my entire response then.
Cannabis to me, is not harmful. The op asked for "any info". I gave him mine.
You're also saying that due to the slim chance that you might catch a disease, whether it be cancer or whatever, that it is harmful. That's an exaggeration.
There's a slim chance that i might get hit by a car crossing the street, does that mean i should never cross the street because i might get hurt? no.

[Mikesikel]

Im 14 and Recently Made a Substitute for both of them.
I Smoke tea

[workingatperfect]

I'm 17 and I started smoking both cigarettes and weed at 13.
After about a year of regularly smoking both, I started to notice a difference in how far/long I could run before I had trouble breathing. I quit smoking cigarettes about a year ago and still smoke weed a lot. I've gotten to where I feel even healthier/more fit than I did before I started either.

[LikeAJay]

never smoked only a CIGAR only once

[fast8]

i have try cigarettes b4 dont like it an it will give u shortness in breth

[Magus]

never smoked only a CIGAR only once

Then you never actually smoked.

[Annonymous]

I smoke everyday but I am trying to stop smoking ciggarettes, but trying to buy weed, is honestly an expensive habit, I'm suggesting stop while you can but still have sun fun:)

[Christheman]

heres the botto line quit you dont need cigarettes or marijuna even if some study says it not that bad

[Cash]

I Don't see the point of smoking cigarets, it doesnt really make you feel 'good', Marijuana is much better in many ways, i love it plusss it also used for medical reasons too.

It makes you happy
Helps with Insomnia
Fasten Your metabolism system Therefore makes you lose weight!
Makes everything more sexcited
It's also much better than alcohol cause u dont get sick after smoking it
Natural Gods Gift!

U Can also eat it if you don't wanna inhale smoke so yeah don't see a reason why it's illegal oh well doesn't stop us!

[Jimmy Page]

I used to smoke weed,did it for about a year but I had to stop because my depression and anxiety was getting worse
But personally I don't recommend doing either,you can argue up and down about pros and cons but in the end,is there really anything that's actually 100% healthy?all those studies should be taken with a pinch of salt in my opinion,it comes down to what YOU think about it,I don't like it,so I don't do it anymore

[Lost in the Echo]

I smoke weed sometimes, only smoked cigarettes a couple times, don't care for cigarettes very much. I drink a lot of booze though. As for marijuana affecting your fitness, i'm not sure, I work out a lot so I stay in pretty good shape.

[High]

I have been smoking marijuana heavily the past month and I have not noticed any difference in my fitness, of course in the long run you're lung capacity would probably be reduced to 15%. But if you lead a healthy and active lifestyle and use marijuana as a luxury and don't abuse it I think you're fine! Toke up brotha! But as far as cigarettes, don't do them. I probably smoke a few cigs a month, usually after I smoke quite a bit of weed because nicotine makes your high better. But I can't physically smoke a cigarette just for the hell of it cause the smoke from the cigs bother my saliva glands and I produce a lot of saliva when I smoke cigs.

[Sam The Creator]

I have done both and it hasn't really affected me.

[AnnaAbbey]

Cigarettes <3

Marijuana has been shown to increase the lung capacity, it only reduces lung capacity temporarily... less than 2 hours after, you're back to normal.

[Christine.]

I dont smoke, but cigs will affect your fitness for sure

[OFWGKTA]

I've been smoking pot and cigarettes since I was 13. Cigarettes make me a lot calmer and I skate a lot better after a cigarette or two. Pot makes me really lazy after smoking, but when my high wears off, I get really active. So no, they honestly haven't affected my fitness, well in a negative way.

[Truth]

I'd say I was 14, smoked weed for 3 years almost without any fitness deterioration.

I hate cigs, waste of time.

Since the last time I proved people wrong about marijuana causing damage to lung tissue, and causing structural damage I was banned - all I will say is go to google and look for "Granny Stormcrow 2012".

You are wrong in every way, enjoy the education guys.

[Neverender]

Then evidently you didn't ride that Stimulant wave of Nicotine on the first inhale.

I didn't say it didn't cause lung damage. I said it is much less likely to cause it than cigarettes, coal dust or asbestos for example. With an attitude like that no wonder you were banned. I am not wrong in every way, especially since I didn't elaborate or acknowledge other factors anywhere in my post. How can I be wrong for things I didn't mention?


Don't answer that. Rhetorical question.

[LiamShelley96]

Hey its taken some time but i don't smoke cigarettes much anymore, maybe 1-2 times a day and am enjoying it less but when i drink i smoke alot.. i dont care anymore but i'll probably pick it up again like always... as for weed i love it and use it almost every night <3

[chris1997]

i use to smoke heavily and since i stopped ive noticed a big difference

Don't answer that. Rhetorical question. You implied marijuana can cause cancer in any situation. See, the thing is, there is not a single documented case of cancer attributed to only marijuana without any other factors.

Also, many of the things were said to the other person quoted.

It could theoretically cause cancer. It should by logic. But THC has a very strong anti-Mitosis effect in mammals, which is not a good thing for any cell, but this also means it's effective at killing off cancer cells before they have a chance to reproduce in great numbers.

I implied it could cause Cancer, not that it did.

Regardless of the cancer risk, I'll be smoking for so long as I can still draw breathe and hold it.

[blue_bear94]

ill only use tabcco for spin been smokkeing everyday 4 bout just over 2 years n im still ight

[nocontrol]

Well, it has been proven that marijuana can lower the risk of lung cancer, and I haven't noticed any laybacks of any way
