Officially of legal drinking age

Yeah obviously breathing in smoke isn't good for you, but cannabis smoke doesn't cause cancer.

You're dumb, mate.

You're misinformed, mate.

I don't believe that conclusion has been supported yet, source

Along with the link I posted above, you can find articles about it on huffington post, Washington post, and cnn.

Smoke is harmful to lung health. Whether from burning wood, tobacco or marijuana, toxins and carcinogens are released from the combustion of materials. Smoke from marijuana combustion has been shown to contain many of the same toxins, irritants and carcinogens as tobacco smoke.4-7

Beyond just what's in the smoke alone, marijuana is typically smoked differently than tobacco. Marijuana smokers tend to inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than cigarette smokers, which leads to a greater exposure per breath to tar.8

Secondhand marijuana smoke contains many of the same toxins and carcinogens found in directly inhaled marijuana smoke, in similar amounts if not more.5 While there is no data on the health consequences of breathing secondhand marijuana smoke, there is concern that it could cause harmful health effects, especially among vulnerable children in the home. Additional research on the health effects of secondhand marijuana smoke is needed.

Conclusions:

Long term cannabis use increases the risk of lung cancer in young adults.

Marijuana smoke

There are some reasons to think that marijuana smoking might increase lung cancer risk. Marijuana smoke contains tar and many of same the cancer-causing substances that are in tobacco smoke. (Tar is the sticky, solid material that remains after burning, which is thought to contain most of the harmful substances in smoke.) Marijuana cigarettes (joints) are typically smoked all the way to the end, where tar content is the highest. Marijuana is also inhaled very deeply and the smoke is held in the lungs for a long time, which gives any cancer causing substances more opportunity to deposit in the lungs. And because marijuana is often an illegal substance, it may not be possible to control what other substances it might contain.

But those who use marijuana tend to smoke fewer marijuana cigarettes in a day or week than the amount of tobacco consumed by cigarette smokers. For example, a light smoker may smoke half of a pack (10 cigarettes) a day, but 10 marijuana cigarettes in a day would be very heavy use of marijuana. In one study, most people who smoked marijuana did so 2 to 3 times per month. The lesser amount smoked would make it harder to see an impact on lung cancer risk.

It has been hard to study whether there is a link between marijuana and lung cancer because marijuana was illegal in many countries for so long and it is not easy to gather information about the use of illegal drugs. Also, in the studies that looked at past marijuana use in people who had lung cancer, most of the marijuana smokers also smoked cigarettes. This can make it hard to know how much of the risk is from tobacco and how much might be from marijuana. More research is needed to know the cancer risks from smoking marijuana.

Woo, look at me, I can pull sources that support my claim from Google, too!
On a serious note, there isn't a massive body of proof that it does or doesn't cause lung cancer, but its probably common sense that breathing in smoke isn't healthy.

Seriously, breathing in any kind of smoke is dangerous. No matter what.
Marijuana may be healtier but it still causes cancer

it contains gas but it is not entirely gas, no.

Smoke is a collection of tiny solid, liquid and gas particles. Although smoke can contain hundreds of different chemicals and fumes, visible smoke is mostly carbon (soot), tar, oils and ash.

You're right, the Times, Washington post, Huffington post, and Cnn are all COMPLETELY unreliable. But regardless, it doesn't really matter. I just know/know of a lot of long time pot smokers who have never developed any kind of cancer. Willie Nelson being a prime example. This isn't really worth arguing over, cause if you think that marijuana smoke is bad for you then just vape it or something.

Uugh here we go again with the whole weed is godly and alcohol is the worst thing ever yada yada. They both cause horrible things in the long term so dont defend either
