True but then again at least pot is 100% natural tobacco has all kinds of additives. So they may have been comparing the two without taking in affect the extra chemicals in tobacco. The average pot smoker probably only smokes 4 or 5 joints a week and the average casual user much less. So overall I think it is safer and well I see that you didnt argue the case against drinking so I assume we agree there. Its all about moderation and you really cant do that with cigarettes
