smoking cannabis Note that the relative numbers of smokes for the two drugs are not mentioned. People who smoke cannabis often tend to do so in combination with tobacco, but they also can tend to smoke fewer doses. However, many cannabis smokers also smoke nicotine/tobacco as a separate drug. Smoking is a hazardous (and widely anti-social) activity. A UK survey conducted earlier in 2002 found that 79 per cent of children believed cannabis to be safe. Public health education in the UK is obviously failing severely. This report suggests that approximately 45% of 16 29 year old
Britons have used cannabis at some point. Of course, this
suggestion is near to meaningless without quoted amounts and frequencies. It is vital that the health problems of smoking are not confused with any drug problems. related material
