Smoking related cancer is not hugely affected by genetics.

Unfortunately, one of the self-exempting beliefs that many smokers have is: "I've got good genes mate so I'm at a much lower risk than other smokers and can keep going for a while yet." Neither dope or cigarette smokers should believe that "good genes" are going to help them significantly and they shouldn't presume to have good genes for avoiding cancer.

Only the heaviest of dope smokers are going to come near getting the amount of shit in their lungs that heavy cigarette smokers get. However, dope is a gateway drug for tobacco. That is, dope can get you into serious trouble by turning you into a cigarette smoker.
