If weed has tar, which i know it does, than why cant you get lung cancer from smoking weed?
I know for a fact that weed has more tar than cigarettes. I also know that tar is a major reason for lung cancer… so why is it that no one has ever gotten lung cancer from smoking weed….and please dont say that weed can cause lung cancer because it isnt an opinion or what you think….it is a proven statistic that there has never been a case of cancer stemming from weed…..so what ever lies schools are feeding you are false…..there has never been a link from weed and cancer…..so basically i just wanna know does tar really cause lung cancer? and if it does why dont you get it from smoking weed?
Most pot smokers don’t smoke as many cigarettes. And a lot of them use a lot of other drugs that probably kill them before the cancer can set in.
The research has also mostly been done of those under 60, creating an automatic bias. Studies have shown that if you smoke cigarettes and pot, you have a 50% greater chance of lung cancer than with cigarettes alone. So clearly it does increase your risk.
The studies were trying show it for those who smoked pot but not cigarettes. Hard to find.

The Lung Cancer Conundrum
Yul Brynner born on July 11th 1920 in Vladivostok, Russia, remains one of the most unique, somewhat mysterious but highly recognizable and beloved stars of his time. Actor, Director, Narrator, star of stage and screen. He is best known to me as an actor. He was the King in “The King and I” and won an Oscar for that role. “ The Ten Commandments,” “The Magnificent Seven” “Solomon and Sheba”. Just to name a few. Who could forget the unrelenting robot/gunslinger in “Westworld” that chased me through my mid-seventies nightmares. So many movies, television and stage appearances that to list them all would be to write a separate column. His face, voice and that unmistakable bald head, part of the very mystic which made him so memorable.
For so many of us, the legacy of Yul Brynner is wrapped up in the memory of the anti-smoking commercial that aired after his death from lung cancer in 1985. I just saw it for the first time in years on my computer and it put a lump in my throat. That image of the man who had lost his struggle but found a way to fight on. I respect that and respect him for it.
In 2007, I was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and faced with the facts that the odds were not good. I have survived for two years and now run a non profit organization for funding lung cancer research and offering support to patients and families.
The “Yul Brynner effect” as I now call it is still as effective today as it was 20 years ago and that might not necessarily be a good thing anymore.
Tell anyone you meet that you have lung cancer and the first question back to you is “did you or do you smoke?”
The willingness of someone to donate to a cause is subject to several factors. First being their financial ability to give, second is the ability to connect to the cause. We have been pounding it into peoples’ heads for years that lung cancer is a smokers’ issue, therefore if I don’t smoke, lung cancer is not my issue. It’s that “you did it to yourself,” disconnect coupled with the extremely high mortality rate that keeps lung cancer in the closet even though lung cancer will kill more people this year then breast, colon and prostate cancer combined.
Somehow we have to move beyond that powerful Yul Brynner image and replace it with a new face and a voice, one that says, “ How and why it happened to you is not as important as what we need to do to cure you and keep future generations safe from cancer’s leading killer.” One that will assist research facilities all over the country in educating and employing the next generation of scientists and researchers by generating the funds needed.
Maybe the new face of Lung cancer is in your mirror and the voice is the one in your head telling you to do something now before it is a necessity for a loved one.

Smoking & The Pill? (details inside)?
I know you are not supposed to smoke while on the pill because of the arteries & whatnot.
I smoke one cigarette every 2 or 3 days, will it still be really bad or barely any hard.
other than the fact that smoking gives lung cancer, which i know, no health class please.
I don’t think your light smoking will have much of an effect. If you’re over 30 you might want to reconsider those few cigarettes though because that can make your chances for blood clots while on the pill higher.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
