A member asked:

I am 16 years old and smoke weed could i get lung cancer ? i get pains where my ribs are on the left side

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eventually/not now: Smoking anything like weed or cigarettes throws a bunch of irritants into the sensitive lung tissue and over a a couple decades this may trigger cancer. Any pain you have at your age is likely infection or inflammation from something else.
