Both. Pot would bother me more though, starting that young runs the risk of cannabis psychosis. While cancer is scary, they can cure it if caught early enough. Nothing they can do about cannabis psychosis. This question wasn't very much fun btw.
Pot would bother me more. From what I understand, pot is a mind/mood altering drug that kills the desire to do productive work.
Cigs, while life threatening and very harmful due to lung cancer and other assorted cancers, is not mind/mood altering and doesn't kill the drive to be productive.

Agree...I've never known someone to start smoking cigs and because of it lose their ambition. I do have to wonder though if the kid is smoking that many cigarettes where are the parents. I smoked at that age...MAYBE half a pack a week! It was also legal to buy cigarettes at that age back then.
Both. Cigs are just nasty and pot is illegal and as a minor I'd be on the stick for any legal trouble and no 16 year old would have a medical mj card so I know they would be dealing with sketchy people and that would scare me.
Push the age to over 21, or even 18 if they are out of my house and in college, and it would be cigs, hand down. With no personal liability on the pot issue I wouldn't care about it but would push them to get a medical card and make it mostly-legal. Not that it's a real problem in CA but still.
PS. The above scenarios are from my real life and my real kids.
