The Dangers of Smoking Tobacco with Cannabis

While this video of Elon Musk smoking is lighthearted in nature, we want to take a moment to warn our members about the dangers of smoking tobacco with cannabis. It's no secret that smoking tobacco has many harmful effects, so it should be no surprise that cannabis mixed with tobacco products offers similar negative results. Sadly, the phenomenon of smoking tobacco with cannabis has been happening for many years now, and with legalization, the use of these products continues to increase. Cannabis has so many beneficial health properties, but when used in conjunction with tobacco, all the benefits of this amazing plant are thrown out the window.

Smoking (combusting) anything is bad for your lungs. Smoking changes the properties of a substance, often forming toxic and carcinogenic compounds. The dangerous effects of smoking tobacco are well known. More than 8 million people die each year as a result of smoking tobacco, regardless of whether cannabis is thrown into the mix.

We ask that our members please be mindful of this, and work toward ending the dangerous practice of mixing these two substances. Let's work together to change cultural consumption norms by promoting a tobacco-free approach to cannabis use. Learn more at CDC.gov »
