I realize not smoking pot is physically healthier than smoking it (I say physically because I know how well it reduces stress, especially after a long commute) but I've just read http://www.news.uiuc.edu/news/04/0608oralcancer.html AND http://www.fhcrc.org/about/ne/news/2004/06/01/marijuanastudy.html

that smoking pot does not increase the risk of mouth cancer. Is there any research out there that says differently?

A Google Search shows that the evidence isn't as strong, but i would say that if smoke brings water to your eyes, why should your lungs like it better? There are better ways to relax and unwind.
