Marijuana smoke contains many of the same cancer-causing chemicals as tobacco smoke, but generally in lower concentrations. However, because marijuana smokers tend to inhale more deeply and hold the smoke in their lungs longer than tobacco smokers, they may be exposed to more harmful chemicals. More research is needed to fully understand the long-term health effects of marijuana smoke.

This is because marijuana joints are un-filtered and often more deeply inhaled than cigarettes.Although it may be true that marijuana smoke deposits more tar into the lungs than tobacco smoke, current evidence does not indicate that the former results in proportionally greater deleterious health affects.
