Inhaled Cannabis, Asthma, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study of n = 379,049
Inhaled cannabis was associated with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease after adjusting for tobacco cigarette use. Among those with no lifetime tobacco cigarette use, the association with asthma persisted. Cannabis may be a potential modifiable risk factor for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
