| h English (en) | Cannabis smoke contains thousands of organic and inorganic chemical compounds. This [[tar (tobacco residue)|tar]] is chemically similar to that found in tobacco smoke, and over fifty known [[carcinogen]]s have been identified in cannabis smoke, Cannabis smoke is also inhaled more deeply than tobacco smoke. {{as of|2015}}, there is no consensus regarding whether cannabis smoking is associated with an increased risk of cancer. Light and moderate use of cannabis is not believed to increase risk of lung or upper airway cancer. Evidence for causing these cancers is mixed concerning heavy, long-term use. In general there are far lower risks of pulmonary complications for regular cannabis smokers when compared with those of tobacco. A 2015 review found an association between cannabis use and the development of testicular [[germ cell tumor]]s (TGCTs), particularly non-[[seminoma]] TGCTs. Another 2015 meta-analysis found no association between lifetime cannabis use and risk of head or neck cancer. Combustion products are not present when using a [[Vaporizer (inhalation device)|vaporizer]], consuming THC in pill form, or consuming [[cannabis foods]]. |
