POT AND TOBACCO BARELY COMPARABLE

In response to Art Todd's question, "Is smoking pot any less harmful 
than smoking a Marlboro?" ("Will marijuana be next health hazard?" 
Star-Advertiser, Letters, Feb. 10):

Cigarette smoking causes about 1 in every 5 deaths in the United 
States. That's approximately 440,000 deaths a year, including from 
secondhand smoke. Yet, there is not a single death attributed to 
marijuana use alone.
