Cigarettes BY FAR: Cigarettes are one of the very wost things for your health. They are extremely toxic and hazardous with few if any benefits to health- see http://tinyurl.com/lblldw
Marijuana is a medicinal herb used for thousands of years proven to be beneficial in treating dozens of diseases- see http://tinyurl.com/7pleaed
While there are some hazards associated with marijuana use they are far less than tobacco.
