Respiratory Disorders Can Be Caused By Smoking Marijuana
Posted by Anna on February 20th, 2008Medical scientists have been able to identify some major risks with Marijuana smokers. They claim that most of the smokers of marijuana seeds can suffer from several problems of respirations and other health risks that underscore the necessity of curbing the Marijuana use. It is now a medically established fact that smoking marijuana can cause as many symptoms of respiratory problems as caused by the smoking of tobacco.
In a recent survey, around seven thousand samples were taken and it was found that marijuana smoking or combined smoking of cannabis seeds and tobacco increased the risks of chronic bronchitis, coughing, wheezing and other respiratory problems much more than in case of an ordinary man who does not smoke marijuana.
Technically speaking you will find nicotine in tobacco and delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol in Marijuana. Other characteristics are almost identical in both cases and quitting marijuana can really give the benefits of quitting smoking.
On the other hand people who smoked both tobacco and weeds seeds run a much greater risk of being physically ill due to respiratory problems. Only one disease would be less effective in such case, the pneumonia. The interesting observation in the survey was that the marijuana smokers were mostly in the age group of thirties with the average age being 31.2 while the tobacco smokers are and older group with the average age being 41.2 years. Marijuana thus is the favorite of young people while thee tobacco is for the older.
