Abstract
<p class="first" id="d17177917e191">Marijuana contains carcinogens similar to tobacco
smoke and has been suggested by
relatively small studies to increase the risk of head and neck cancer (HNC). Because
tobacco is a major risk factor for HNC, large studies with substantial numbers of
never tobacco users could help to clarify whether marijuana smoking is independently
associated with HNC risk.
