MODERATORS
Safer when smoked in the same quantities? Not even close. Marijuana smoke has considerably more tar*. Safer when smoked like a sane person? Definitely.
*Cigarettes carry their own risks because of added chemicals, but the headline didn't specify cigarettes, just tobacco.
Fair point on the Tobacco vs Cigarettes, but generally people interpret the two as synonymous.
They do, which highlights how flawed/pointless this survey and headline are.
Not accounting for the well known association between tobacco and cigarettes when formulating the question is just lazy polling.
