      Actually the tobacco plant species used in scientific research has hardly any nicotine, 10–100× less than the species used by commercial industry, and it’s not naturally carcinogenic either. The carcinogens come from all the other shit cigarette companies add to it.

          There’s no evidence linking cannabis smoke to lung cancer. I don’t see why tobacco would be any different if it wasn’t covered in radioactvity and poison and radioactive poison.
