This can be consumed in edibles which doesn't involve breathing in smoke at all and even smoking marijuana involves far less risks. People after all don't normally smoke 40 or 50 joints a day.

I'm continually astonished at how many people are still smoking either cannabis or tobacco. Especially with nicotine, the advantages are endless: cheaper, healthier, no awful smell.

Admittedly, weed vapes are a tougher issue because of the higher temperatures required. They're fairly expensive. But yeah, edibles are really popular.

Eating cannabis takes 10-30 minutes before you even feel it. With smoking, onset is almost immediate. The real difference is the dopamine reward that a smoker's brain releases.
