Effects of Marijuana and Tobacco Smoke on Human Lung Physiology

MOUSE lung explants exposed to smoke from cigarettes to which marijuana was added have been reported to display more cellular abnormalities than those exposed to smoke from cigarettes without marijuana 1 . We report here a study designed to test the effects of smoke from cigarettes made of marijuana...

Zusammenfassung:MOUSE lung explants exposed to smoke from cigarettes to which marijuana was added have been reported to display more cellular abnormalities than those exposed to smoke from cigarettes without marijuana 1 . We report here a study designed to test the effects of smoke from cigarettes made of marijuana only on human lung explants, and to compare these effects with those obtained after exposure to smoke from Kentucky Standard cigarettes.
