Can smoking weed cause someone to have lung cancer?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: But unusual at your age. Usually above age 50-55. Obviously, it is best to quit smoking. Maybe you like weed cookies - they do not cause lung cancer. Although i cannot recommend them professionally.

Smoking: It is possible. Smoking like that is unfiltered which delivers irritants to the lung that can be a trigger for development of cancers.
