Also, is smoking marijuana 2 times per month likely to cause heart and lung disease?
Answer Dear Jim, Even this light smoking is evidence of addiction, and there is no safe level of smoking. Your risk of lung cancer is low but heart disease and other lung disease risk is real. It i the chemicals in the smoke that cause disease. Nicotine itself it a safe dug. That is why nicotine replacement therapy is safe. No smoke is good for your lungs, but there is very little evidence that moderate marijuana use causes heart or lung disease I would strongly suggest you quit before you have a child. I’d suggest you read “The EasyWay to Quit Smoking” by Allen Carr. He explains how smoking has no positive benefit in your life and the many advantages of quitting. The book has been a best seller in Europe for many years, and you might find it useful. You should also call 1-800-QUIT-Now and find out about resources in your state. Some states provide free therapy and telephone quitlines, and these are useful. There are a number of new drug therapies that are highly effective. Talk to you
