Taking bets on when this hits flame wars...

Never saw the need to fill one's lungs with smoke of any kind. If you want to become "enlightened" get an education!

This isn't new. When I was an undergrad at Indiana University, I wrote the following in my column for the student newspaper:

Billboards put up by the CommUNITY Educators note marijuana is five times as carcinogenic as cigarettes. In addition, marijuana slows memory and learning functions, alters the user's heart rate and can cause behavioral problems similar to those caused by alcohol. Cancer notes women who smoke dope are 11 times more likely to develop leukemia.

A magazine or similar publication, IIRC. That's why it's in italics. It's been 9 years since I wrote the column...
