@maynrdjkeenan if it wasn't FIRE CURED and was fresh green leaf just like any other salad, he probably would not have cancer, as a green uncured tobacco leaf has no polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and has only infinitesimal nitrosamines (which form when nitrogen oxides from combustion react with alkaloids in the leaf). as long as he doesn't take enough to overdose it would be fine. He may actually reduce his risk for cancer due to the anticancer tobacco cembranoids. I shit you not. look em up

@ihazafunny As a matter of fact, you would. Burning 10 pounds of wood for an hour produces 4300 times more carcinogens than 30 cigarettes. He's correct in that nicotine does not cause cancer, but many of the "toxic" chemicals found in a pack of cigarettes are often found in common materials as well, and getting these chemicals into your lungs is never good. That's why firefighters, including non-smokers, are at a much higher risk of getting cancer than the rest of the population.

@kzaryckiproductions bullshit. i have a friend at work that is a big time pothead. he works his ass off. he is working 37 hours of overtime this week for a total of 77 hours worked in a single week. lazy i think not. i have smoke pot myself sometimes, but infrequently. alcohol will make you incapable of functioning, you can still function when stoned. at least much better than when drunk

@ihazafunny Many people did have many respiratory diseases and illnesses because of campfires. I think you're even taking it for granted how clean your air is as a result of having lights in your home instead of an open fire.
