Does it talk about volume, though? I don't take a smoke break every few hours to smoke a full joint. My coworkers will have a cigarette every few hours, though.
not that I saw. seemed to be comparing effects of one inhalation. what got me is they are comparing a joint and other non filtered things to a filtered cigarette. Don't get me wrong any type of inhaling things into the lungs is bad but im skeptical about tobacco being worse than cannabis.
I agree. Even if we accept the smoking constraint, there's paper filters, cotton filters, water filters...
yeah and besides limiting particulates they will also lower the heat the paper talks about. That leaves length of having it in the lungs but as you point out smokers smoke all the time. When a smoker takes the time to really enjoy a cig the way someone would with cannabis they hold it in longer too. Similarly folks that smoke bud contantly don't hold it in all the time like that. They start smoking more like smokers. I not only doubt tobacco is better I feel like your more likely not to get additives with cannabis that might make it ever so slightly better. Again though inhaling things into the lungs is just not a good idea.
