k well i was watchin the news one day and it proved that 1 joint is equal to 6 smokes...becuz the levels of chemicals in weed are way higher than in ciggerettes
the reason why u only hear ppl die from smokes and not bud is because ppl don't smoke as much weed as ppl smoke cigs

In a Swedish study, researchers found no link between marijuana use among more than 45,000 male military conscripts, aged 18 to 20, and their death rates over the next 15 years.
Another study of 65,171 men and women enrolled in the Kaiser Permanente health plan found that, with the exception of AIDS patients, marijuana users were not more likely than others to die over a 10-year period.

April 3, 1997, Los Angeles, CA: Habitual marijuana smokers do not experience a greater annual rate of decline in lung function than nonsmokers, according to the latest findings by researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Medicine. The results of the eight-year study appear in Volume 155 of the American Journal of Respiratory & Critical Care Medicine. Dr. Donald P. Tashkin, who headed the study, is one of America's foremost experts on marijuana smoking and lung function.

It's debatable, but all I know is when I smoke up as opposed to cigs, I can still run long distance and play Lacrosse with no reduced ability.
