Actually, what we have to look at is how many chemicals are concentrated within the two subjects. Regular cigarettes have tobacco and nicotine and it's natural chemicals to start off with; however, they are also processed in a plant that adds many more chemicals to what the Biology and chemistry of the plant have already built up within itself. Marijuana doesn't go through all of this, it is simply grown, cropped, and cultivated into the fine buds many stoner's like to enjoy.
This doesn't fully answer the question how many chemicals are within each subject. Furthermore how many of those chemicals are toxic. In cigarettes there are over 4000 chemicals when it is being smoked, out of all of those chemicals 50 of them are carcinogenic. Some of these carcinogens include, cyanide, ammonia, arsenic, along with some other heavy metals. In a marijuana cigarette it is unknown exactly how many carcinogens there actually are. The studies have been limited in studying cannabis. The health organizations will often say that there are up to 50 to 70 percent more carcinogens in marijuana; however, they have not stated what those chemicals are and how many of them belong to the plant.
In my opinion, I don't think either to be healthy; however, with that being said, I think that I would have to choose marijuana as being better. I say this only because I know that cigarettes have some nasty chemicals that weren't there until they were produced in a factory. A factory that has all kinds of nasty chemicals. It just doesn't sound that good to me. As far as marijuana goes it's pretty much ready right outside your back door along with moms garden.
