As far as the comparison to cigarette smoke versus pot smoke - YES pot has more "carcinogens" then cigarettes. That is a fact. The only problem with that information is.......

A carcinogen is basically any "particle" that can embed in your lungs/throat/windpipe etc. and have cancer form around that "particle".

Pot has more carcinegens than cigarettes. The main difference: -- tobacco is grown in soil, fertilized with a phosphate fertilizer, known to contain natural radioactive elements such as Polonium-210. The tobacco industry could eleminate these radioactive particles making it into the final product of the tobacco farmers, but it would be much more expensive, therefore has never happend. This makes the "carcinogens" in cigarettes RADIO-ACTIVE! Although there are more "carcinogens" in pot, they are not radio-active, unless your local pot grower is using heavy fertilizers to grow their pot, which is highly unlikely.

That's right folks. Get out your geiger counter and check out the second-hand-smoke infested walls of your home. CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK

There is plenty of research on this. This was taken from a website, of which I have no way of verifiying the source, but you can do the research yourself.

In 1982, tobacco researchers DiFranza and Winters concluded that smoking a pack and a half of cigarettes per day exposed a person to the same radiation as 300 chest x-rays per year. Due to improvements in X-ray technology and increasing levels of radionuclides in tobacco, the Institute of Medicine now estimates that a heavy smoker is exposed to the equivalent radiation as up to 2,000 chest X-rays every year. The National Institutes of Health state that tobacco is by far the largest source of radiation for the American public. Polonium is also present in chewing tobacco, benignly referred to as smokeless tobacco, and may contribute to the development of oral cancers.

I can confirm that Bill is, indeed, radioactive. Whenever a song comes on the radio, he gets up for another beer.
His bollocks also glow in the dark - which helps alot when you're up and down in the night to visit the bathroom.

.... apparently.

.... so Mickey says! :rolleyes:
Cheers!
