      Hi @alcfashion
      Smoking tobacco and smoking weed are bad for everyone, of all ages. As for whether it’s worse when you’re younger…with regards to tobacco, I would think it probably is, as your lungs are still growing, so doing damage to them is probably a bad idea.

      And regarding cannabis, this is what I’m trying to work out. There is a theory that if you smoke cannabis when you’re young, it makes you more likely to have mental illness problems as a young adult or late teenager. But there is other evidence suggesting this isn’t true. I’m trying to work out who’s right!

      Hope this answers your question 🙂
