Nope: Smoking anything is bad for asthmatics. Although studies have shown mj to be a bronchodilator, there are many safer and more effective methods to treat asthma.

No: You should not smoke anything, especially if you have asthma.

Silly idea: Asthma is a condition where the chemical mediators that close the airways to protect the tiny air sacs from dirt/dust/chemicals are excessive.Relaxation after stimulation to the normal wheeze free state is slow.You can never help this by doing a behavior that throws smoke and irritating chemicals into the lungs.Smoke anything at your own risk.
