People smoke marijuana in hand-rolled cigarettes or in pipes or water pipes also known as bongs. They also smoke it in blunt emptied cigars that have been partly or completely refilled with marijuana. To avoid inhaling smoke, more people are using vaporizers. These devices pull the active ingredients from the marijuana and collect their vapor in a storage unit. A person then inhales the vapor, not the smoke.  729,825 in 2012 were affected by marijuana and now there could be a lot more.
