Tobacco vs Marijuana
Cigarette smoking is the top risk factor for lung cancer. However, there are studies showing that there is no link between marijuana smoking and lung cancer. Cigarette smoking is also a major cause of heart disease, but it is unclear if marijuana is correlated to heart disease too.
Unlike smoking cigarettes, marijuana has health benefits associated with it, but there is strong evidence that correlates long-term marijuana smoking to chronic bronchitis and bad coughs.
The Bottom Line

Cigarette smoking is only detrimental to your health, whereas marijuana smoking can help with a long list of medical conditions of symptoms associated with them including chronic pain.
