While marijuana smoke is often seen as safer than tobacco, long-term smoking can still cause serious damage. Chronic marijuana use has been linked to bronchitis, chronic cough, and other respiratory issues. The inhalation of burned plant material—whether tobacco or cannabis—can irritate the lungs and bronchial passages, potentially leading to reduced lung function over time.
Marijuana rehab programs can help address not only the addiction but also the physical toll it takes on your body.
