If cannabis and to***co are both smoked, do they affect the lungs in the same way?
That's an important question, especially for medical ma*****na patients who use inhalation as part of their treatment.
Research discussed in our blog found a strong relationship between cigarette smoking and emphysema, while the same positive association was not found with cannabis smoking. That doesn't mean cannabis smoke is harmless, but it does suggest that cannabis and to***co should not automatically be treated as though they have identical effects on the lungs.
For patients, understanding those differences is another part of making informed decisions about how they use their medicine.
Take a closer look at the blog and the new research study:
