I woudn't use marijuana anyway. It's still putting foriegn material into your body, I'm sure the smoke still could cause some lung damage. Probably less damaging then cigarettes, but I wouldn't smoke them either.
I wouldn't recomend legalizing marijuana for one reason. It will become just another cigarette company. Cigarette companies add tons of crap to tobacco to make them addicting. Some of the chemicals in Cigarettes are Acetone, Ammonia, Arsenic, Benzene, Benzoapyrene, Butane, Cadmium, Formaldehyde, Lead, Propylene Glycol and Turpentine. I can just see new Marijuana cigarette companies adding these chems to marijuana cigarettes. Now marijuana will be legal, and addicting, and just as bad as cigarettes.
