This article stated that more children and teens smoke Marijuana than cigarettes. Over 20% of seniors in high school smoke pot, 19% of seniors smoke cigarettes. They stated the reason that many teens believe that smoking marijuana is safer than tobacco. Pot doesn't have any of the bad chemicals and additives as cigarettes. Marijuana usage rates significantly rose in 2010. More than 6% of teens smoke pot on a daily basis. They believe the rates got higher because now that it has been legalized in some areas of the country, teens believe that it is safer to smoke than cigarettes. On the other hand, drugs like cocaine and crystal meth have been on the decline. I guess I wouldn't know why smoking has been on the rise. But I think that smoking cigarettes is worse than smoking pot.
