A member asked:
Why doesn't marijuana smoke give me an asthma attack but cigarette smoke does? is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure it doesn't: Neither is healthy for your lungs. It may be that the effect of marijuana is just milder and you don't "feel" it but there is good evidence both adversely affect your lungs.
