The impact of marijuana smoking on lung function

As marijuana becomes more widely used, and is legalised in several jurisdictions, the question of whether regular marijuana smoking has a deleterious effect on respiratory health, similar to tobacco smoking, has been a major topic of investigation.

The effects of marijuana smoking on lung function remain to be fully elucidated http://bit.ly/36unCEq
