49. Smoking is smoking -- not good for you
When I was in medical school, we were told that per dose, pot has more harmful immediate effects on the lungs and airways when smoked than does tobacco. But since no one smokes as many joints as they do cigarettes, the per-dose effects are pretty much irrelevant.

Basically, inhaling any kind of smoke isn't good for you, whether it be tobacco, pot, or wood smoke. But to point to this one death and say "see, pot's harmful!" is silly. Since tobacco kills so many, many more.
