what is the pneumonia risk?like, what part of smoking gives the risk of pneumonia??
Apparantly, very similar to cigerettes, but worse due to the effect on the immune system. It does the same paralysis of the cilia, but I think it also affects are certain aspect of the immunological response to specific microbes/contaminents, and it causes one to become more susceptible to contracting pneumonia.

also, vaporizers =/= healthy
Definitely. I agree. However, it is supposed to eliminate many of the unhealthy qualities of MJ, and leave all the "good" things.
The Clear Chemist, Patrick Arnold, seems to think highly of vaporizers. He wrote a nice article with several studies. Apparntly, it reduces the negatives greatly...
I am at work, so I'm not sure of the studies he cited off the top of my head. This was like, over a year ago.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Vaporizers certainly do drastically reduce the amount of resin the ends up in your lungs.
