Résumé : |
In 2002, the British Lung Foundation published "A smoking gun?", summarising the evidence around the impact of smoking cannabis on respiratory health.
Ten years on, this report updates "A smoking gun?", detailing the evidence published over the past decade. The report - the most comprehensive review of research data yet compiled on the subject - reveals strong associations between smoking cannabis and many lung and respiratory illnesses, including tuberculosis, acute bronchitis and lung cancer. It is also strongly associated with suppression of the immune system and heart disease. However, new research conducted for the report shows that public awareness of the health consequences of smoking cannabis remains worryingly low, with almost a third of the British population (32%) believing that smoking cannabis is not harmful to your health. This figure rises to almost 40% amongst those aged under-35 – the age-group most likely to have smoked it. |
