Quantity matters: Since tobacco smokers usually smoke a lot more than marijuana smokers do, the damage you do to your lungs is greater with tobacco smoking.

Marijuana: Inhalation with marijuana is more prolonged & deeper than with tobacco. Higher combustion temperatures are reached because it is smoked to a shorter butt. This leads to a carboxyhemoglobin concentration that is five times higher than tobacco. Three times more tar is inhaled.
