Smoking it is bad for your lungs, but edibles are safer. Vaping is a bit safer than smoking, from what I read, although still bad for you.
Edit: I was looking for info.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7348661/"In conclusion, despite vaping being marketed as safer and healthier smoking alternative and a smoking cessation technique, vaping has been found to cause similar effects as smoking on lung function and cardiovascular function. There are, however, no studies on the effects of vaping on muscle function and size. To assess whether these effects are less than those seen during smoking, future studies should seek to systematically compare the differences in severity in the smoking- and vaping-induced decrements in humans."
One thing in favour of vapes- they're a lot cheaper than cigarettes.
Re marijuana- it's hard to find neutral sources that will give you the health info instead of just telling you not to do it, or in the case of people who want to sell it, telling you it's all fine and lovely. So much bias all round. I think if you smoke it using a bong is supposed to be a bit better for you than smoking joints.
