With a family member dealing with bladder Cancer which is the leading cause of smoking as well for Lung Cancer, smoking being cause #1, will not Marijuana increases the amount of people suffering from Cancer in the near and far future?
When you walk through the hall ways of Moffitt and other Cancer centers you can't get away from the horrific images of people of all ages, all backgrounds and ho are trying to overcome Cancer!
In my families case the number one cause seems to be that the entire family was smoking inside the house since the birth. Back in the days it wasn't so well known how second hand smoke could cause serious issues.
Now we know.
Smoking electronic sigarettes will soon be proven to cause harm as nicotine seems to be part of this form of usuagw.
Marijuana is often smoked and is there a difference between regular sigarettes and smoking a blunt?
Please advise your family members and let them walk through a Cancer Center and see what smoking can do to Your body.

Bladder cancer is the leading cause of smoking?

There's no clear answer to this.
Which is to say : Nothing clear has been proven. A few complicated correlations, like cannabis and tobacco together, have been proven to be problems. However there's a lot that is unknown, because Congress makes it difficult to study the effects of cannabis.

I personally find baseless scientific claims to be offensive, because you're basically lying to us and expecting us to believe it. However I realize that some people are OK just making facts up as they go along.
Cigarettes and other tobacco products are mass produced, and have many other chemicals added to them, its THESE that actually do the damage to a person, not the tobacco itself.
If marijuana is ever mass produced and packaged for sale similar to the way cigarettes are, this would probably be a big issue, but just taking marijuana straight from the plant and smoking it, would not have the deadly toxins cigarettes do.

Tobacco naturally contains tar, which causes cancer.

Totally false, and misleading. The chemicals created by burning both tobacco, and marijuana are harmful to the human body when inhaled. The Left has demonized cigarettes, and legal tobacco, but marijuana is fine? More Progressive logic.
I'm more worried about the immediate effects that I might feel, namely a accident and not the long term effects that a chronic smoker might have.
My concern is that some idiot that just toked up in the parking lot at the state run marijuana shop will drive home and run me over as I ride my bike.
It has already happened in my state of Mass. where a guy got his medical pot, smoked it in the parking lot which is "not allowed" and drove into a state trooper that had made a traffic stop killing him.
We have enough problems with distracted drivers and adding pot to the list of impairments is going to do nothing but increase the carnage.
At least on the bright side if I do get run over by a pot head and I survive I can smoke dope to ease my pain without fear of being arrested.

Just because tobacco causes cancer does not mean cannabis does.
Tobacco, for example, gives you mouth cancer just by chewing it. It's naturally full of harmful chemicals.
Cannabis OTOH is not full of known harmful chemicals. It just has a handful of psychoactive substances. However it hasn't been studied as thoroughly as tobacco, so conclusions aren't as reliable.
