Survey: More Teens Smoking Pot Than Cigarettes

A new government survey shows more teens are smoking pot than cigarettes.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 23 percent of high school students said they recently smoked marijuana. That's compared to 18 percent who said they'd smoked cigarettes.

Some experts say it's because teens think pot isn't as dangerous.

Last year marked the first time marijuana use topped cigarettes. The results match an earlier University of Michigan study.
