Cannabis Smoke Has More Toxins

Scientists have discovered that inhaled cannibis smoke has more harmful toxins than tobacco. The Canadian government research found 20 times as much ammonia, a chemical linked to cancer. The Health Canada team also found five times as much hydrogen cyanide and nitrogen oxides, which are linked to heart and lung damage respectively. But tobacco smoke contained more of a toxin linked to infertility. Users should be made aware of the risks, although I doubt it will make any difference to them. They will keep on smoking because they are hooked.
