too much hate on smoking nowadays... no respect for proper smoking methods that people live well into their 70s and beyond doing.... just sayin smoking is only as bad as your technique and what you are smoking. if its filtered properly, grown properly, smoked with a clean flame, inhaled properly and exhaled properly, all one smooth motion, there is no lung damage. but if you act foolishly, take too big of rips, cough out hits, you are damaging your lungs no doubt... but you are damaging your lungs when you cough out vapor as well...
