OFF: smoking etc.

[Robert C. Mayo]

get ready....
i've never smoked, tobacco or pot. so i'm not as wise to the details as those
who 'live the lifestyle', as it were. here's my incredibly naive question:

does smoking pot carry the same health risks as smoking cigarettes?
cancer/lung-heart disease/emphesema/etc etc...? let's forget the supposed
'positives' for the moment--surely inhaling the smoke of anything burning has
it's dangers...?

not trying to make a point here; just honestly curious; i never hear this
discussed, yay or nay.
