Smoking a joint once a week or a bit more apparently doesn't harm the lungs, suggests a 20-year study that bolsters evidence that marijuana doesn't do the kind of damage tobacco does.
The results, from one of the largest and longest studies on the health effects of marijuana, are hazier for heavy users – those who smoke two or more joints daily for several years. The data suggest that using marijuana that often might cause a decline in lung function, but there weren't enough heavy users among the 5,000 young adults in the study to draw firm conclusions.
Please before posting at least google your claim. There is so much bad info out there. Its most likely more damaging to your lungs to live in a big city and be surrounded by smog and other unhelathy air pollutants.

Putting together 20 years of data—and using the magic of statistics to separate the effects of pot from those of tobacco, since people often smoke both—the researchers found that pot smokers seemed to have better lung function than people who didn’t smoke at all.
With all of that said, its kind of meaningless as marijuana is illegal and therefore can not be properly tested in a scientific way, and really we only have statisitics which will show a picture, but aren't a scietific study. One more reason for it to be legal.
