Pulmonology Advisor (4/10, Goldberg) reported a study found that “inhaling marijuana via smoking or vaping is associated with a significantly greater risk for asthma attacks among young adults in the United States.” Researchers observed that “compared with non-marijuana users, individuals who reported using marijuana in the 12 months prior to baseline had greater odds of reporting an asthma attack across the next year. This included those who used electronic products only (odds ratio [OR], 1.81), those who inhaled combustible marijuana products only (OR, 1.64), and those using both electronic and combustible products (OR, 1.57). Notably, for every point higher on the ACT, participants were less apt to report asthma attacks in the next year (OR, 0.91).” The studywas published in Chest.
