Study Finds 79% of Americans Believe Marijuana is As Safe or Safer Than Tobacco - lemm.ee

“More than one-third of participants felt that daily smoking of cannabis was safer than tobacco, and their views increasingly favored safety of cannabis vs tobacco over time (1742 participants [36.7%] in 2017 vs 2107 participants [44.3%] in 2021; P < .001)”

Not quite sure how they got the 79%. Looking at the 2021 data for two questions:

  • How safe is smoking one marijuana joint a day versus one cigarette a day?
    • Safe or Safer than tobacco totals to 75.5%
  • How does secondhand smoke from marijuana compare to secondhand smoke from tobacco?
    • Safe or Safer than tobacco totals to 77.5%

I wouldn’t wanna inhale second-hand cannabis either.

Same. Still would rather shotgun cannabis smoke over tobacco

Second-hand is really the only thing that concerns me. What people smoke is none of my business.

Down with smoking! Support edibles.
