Hello Doctor,
I have mild intermittent asthma, and I was wondering if it's safe for me to smoke THC vape pens? I’ve heard mixed opinions and want to know how it might affect my condition.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
It's important to understand that vaping, including THC vape pens, can be harmful to lung health. Vaping has been linked to serious lung injuries, as noted in various studies, including cases of 'vaping-associated lung injury' (VALI). The chemicals in vape pens can irritate and damage your airways, potentially triggering asthma symptoms or making them worse. For your lung health, I would advise against using any vaping products, especially with asthma. If you're looking for alternatives, I recommend discussing it with your healthcare provider to explore safer options.
Thanks
