Recent headlines claim “smoking weed” can lead to higher rates of neck, face, and lung cancer. The problem with that statement is in the “villian” word. The problem is smoking, not the weed part. Smoking anything is an unhealthy way to get something in your body, whther that somehting is weed, tobacco, dandelions, blueberries, etc. The smoking part is unhealthy, regardless of what the next word is or the substance being burned and inhaled.
