I expect that's a true statement, but most likely because one isn't apt to smoke two packs of marijuana per day.
2 :
tobacco. i dont advise neither though.
3 :
Tobacco wins on this one

Your dad is just saying that so you wont smoke it. Cigarettes are WAY more dangerous than marijuana. There are over 700 chemicals in cigarettes while in marijuana theres only 400.
5 :
No person that only smokes marijuana has ever gotten lung cancer. The worst it can do is irritate your lungs a little. If you use a vaporizer there is virtually no damage. I smoke quite often and I would say that you are missing out. Also, I cannot stress this anymore better, if you want real information about the effects of marijuana, then look up studies done by professionals and not the opinions of people that have never even seen the stuff.

No one has ever died from marijuana, there has never been one case of marijuana only smokers getting lung cancer. EVER

"The largest study of its kind has unexpectedly concluded that smoking marijuana, even regularly and heavily, does not lead to lung cancer...." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/25/AR2006052501729.html
