First sentence: Despite popular belief, a new study shows that people who smoke marijuana do not appear to be at increased risk of developing lung cancer.

So..how exactly is it the same as smoking cigarettes again?

First the David Geffen School of Medicine just made me laugh, and second, are we sure that there aren't other health risks with marijuana? Cancer is just one of many health problems associated with smoking. It would really amaze me if you could smoke anything at a heavy rate of use over your lifetime with no ill effects.
