What Are The Side Effects For Smoking Marijuana?

Hi, i want to know the long term, short term effects of smoking marijuanna poppers. A Marijuanna popper is smoked through a bong, with a chunk of tabacco ripped from a cigarette and weed packed on top. The tobacco smoke is not filtered and gives the smoker a huge headrush after being smoked. I want to know how unhealthy this technique of chronic smoking is and some effects

Pretty unhealthy. The tobacco is quite irritating and damaging to the lungs. Immediately irritating to the lungs... triggering asthma and wheeze. Long term lung damage and the usual increased risk of cancer and heart disease from the tobacco.
