[Pulmonary effects of inhaled cannabis].

The respiratory consequences of cannabis inhalation remain poorly understood. The main challenges are the biases due to the combined consumption of tobacco and to the various consumption modalities. While some similarities can be drawn between cannabis and tobacco, such as certain carcinogenic components present in their smoke, as well as the clinical chronic bronchitis, the pulmonary repercussion of these two substances differ in several aspects. It should be remembered that research on cannabis benefits from less hindsight than that of tobacco and concerns a younger population, opening up the need for further research. This article aims to offer an overview of current knowledge.
