Marijuana smoking tied to lung damage says UCLA doctor
Dr. Donald P. Tashkin of UCLA told the American Lung Association meeting that chronic heavy marijuana smokers may develop chronic bronchitis and even emphysema. In a study of 74 male regular marijuana users from Los Angeles, averaging five joints weekly for five years, results showed a significant drop in respiratory function compared with nonusers, similar to effects from moderate to heavy tobacco smoking. The findings imply cannabis could harm lungs with long-term use, and exercise does not remove the risk.
