The upside of marijuana is that it's not grown commercially, so a bunch of poisons aren't added to it (the best pot growers will at worst use organic insecticide).
You could probably potentially mitigate the risk of tobacco by smoking something like Sherman MCDs or American Spirits (all natural tobacco). Or for that matter, a pipe - pipe smokers have actually been shown to have longer lives than non-pipe smokers.. though I don't think this has anything to do with pipe smoking, and I think they'd live longer if they
didn't smoke pipes.
Also, marijuana has a lot of other debilitating effects aside from lung damage (sperm count, hippocampus damage, etc). So do cigarettes, of course.

True. Also MJ has psychologial effects if abused.
It think both Weed smoking and Cigarettes are retarded but if you HAVE to smoke do it responsibly and smoke natural tobacco in a pipe or rolled up in paper.
Drugs are bad kids M'kay
