A member asked:
Smoking tobacco is major risk factor for pancreatic cancer. what about vaping marijuana (not tobacco e-cigs), smoking it or edibles have same risk?

Probably okay: Nobody has shown these to risky for pancreatic cancer. Any use of nicotine is extremely dangerous as it is horribly addictive. Cannabis may make you goofy but that is your choice. Be aware of the law, whether or not it seems wise.

Cannabis: Marijuana & Cannabanoid medications have been used to treat some symptoms of pancreatic cancer - decreased appetite, loss of sense of taste and pain. I haven't seen any studies that directly linked cannabis to pancreatic cancer- but chemicals used for vaping can have a number of negative health impacts.

PANCREAS: Best to discuss pancreas with your Endocrinologist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
