A member asked:
Expert opinion please: could smoking weed cause my asthma to act up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can: Inhaling smoke of any kind can be an irritant to the airways. People with asthma have hyper-responsive airways that undergo bronchospasm in response to many types of irritants. Besides causing damage to the lungs, smoking (be it tobacco or marijuana) can become a trigger for asthma symptoms as well.
