Marijuana Or Cigarettes?

          Marijuana is the worst thing for the human body and cigarettes are the greatest thing for the human body. Marijuana not only improves lung capacity, but it also helps cancer. Cigarettes don't only destroy your lungs, but it can cause cancer too. Marijuana destroys the body by releasing stress and helps your appetite when you have troubles eating. Marijuana should continue to be illegal due to these "life threatening" effects. Cigarettes are legal because it destroys every part of your body and so that the government can tax the crap out of it. Cigarettes are super expensive and decreases your lung capacity. Marijuana can also help depression and possibly prevent people from committing suicide. If they smoke a little weed and relax, then they might have second thoughts about killing themselves. Look at Robin Williams for example, if he would have smoked a little bit then he might have cured his depression and not have killed himself. He might not have committed suicide. Now, cigarettes on the other hand, have killed many  people it . Marijuana is so bad that there have been no deaths in the U.S. due to it. So which one should be illegal?
