Lung Association Concerned With Legalization Of Pot

The legalization of recreational cannabis has arrived and one group is not overly pleased.

Canadian Lung Association spokesperson Barb MacKinnon is urging people to basically not smoke pot.

MacKinnon says smoking cannabis can cause chronic bronchitis and damage your lungs over the long-term.

MacKinnon is also calling for education programs targeting young people because they still have developing brains.

She adds those who smoke tobacco that they double the risks of health affects by also smoking weed.
