A member asked:
Had a traumatic pneumothorax. its been 20 days since the accident. is there a high likelihood of a recurrence if i choose to smoke marijuana?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to predict: Spontaneous pneumothorax is much more common in patients who smoke marijuana for 6 years and smoke as well. Tobacco smoke itself increases risk of spontaneous pneumothorax. The body has an incredible ability to heal but tobacco and marijuana are clearly harmful to the lungs.
