Contrary to popular belief, weed smoke (or any type of smoke for that matter) is harmful to your lungs. Though it's not as bad as cigarette smoke, it will effect your breathing. You will increase your lung capacity. (from taking those huge bong hits lol) But your lungs' strength and ability to pump will decrease. So.... as long as you're ok with being short of breath after some brisk walking, keep on toking.

"Marijuana is just as bad as tobacco on your lungs,

-------------------

To date, there has never been a documented case of lung cancer from marijuana smoke, despite what you hear from certain anti-drug campaigns. Habitual pot smokers lungs do decrease in capacity, so its definitely bad for your lungs just as any smoke is. There is so much evidence of the dangers of smoking cigarettes, that it would be silly for me to write about it on WikiAnswers."

any smoke is bad for your lungs , so singleing out marijuana is not a proper way to answer the question

I would assume that one tobacco cigarette is just as bad for your lungs as one marijuana cigarette.

However, people normally don't smoke nearly as much pot as they do cigarettes. The average cigarette smoker smokes about 1 pack (20 cigarettes) each day. Even the biggest pothead on earth doesn't smoke 20 joints each day.

All smoke that you put into your lungs is harmful to them, But marijuana is definitely one of the least harmful things you could be inhaling.

Yes, smoking weed does harm your lungs. It's not as bad as cigarettes, but since you are inhaling a hot substance, it can harm your lungs over time.

Marijuana has 3x as much tar as tobacco. Tar is what tends to cause lung cancer.
