Smoking weed increases your risk of heart attack and stroke. That was obvious this whole time?
- holyhelldang 3y agoSmoking anything increases your risk.
- eyegor 3y agoCorrelation != causation. Especially when the study doesn't show a simple correlation like that either. At least not for heart attacks. > The multivariate survey‐adjusted logistic regression analysis of the entire sample did not reach a significant association between daily cannabis use and CHD (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.16 [95% CI, 0.98–1.38]; P=0.09) But there does seem to be one for strokes > Among those who had never used tobacco cigarettes and had never used e‐cigarettes, cannabis use was not associated with CHD or MI but was associated with stroke (aOR, 2.24 [95% CI, 1.31–3.83]) versus tobacco‐adjusted odds in the whole sample (aOR, 1.42 [95% CI, 1.20–1.68]) Study https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.123.030178 https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.123.030178

The burnig of fields in South Asia, for example: "Air pollution and cardiovascular health in South Asia: A comprehensive review" https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cpcardiol.2023.102199 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cpcardiol.2023.102199

- bluGill 3y agoThat is something that while not surprising at least should need some study before you state it as a fact.
