6. Here is your health fact of the week, brought to you by the BHSHC Youth
Advisory Board:  Marijuana smoke is harmful.  Because marijuana smoke is
pulled deeply into the lungs, it can cause more lung damage than tobacco.
It is heavier than tobacco smoke and it is harder to get out of the lungs
when exhaling.  Smoking one joint is equivalent to the health effects of
smoking 10 cigarettes.
