Smoking and Discomfort
by Philip1815, Sep 14, 1999 12:00AM
I have been a heavy pot smoker(every day, all day)for at least four years up until last january when my frequency dropped to occationally. Ive noticed lately that my lungs hurt from time to time. The pain can be described as a piercing one that usually occurs when I inhale. It is never a constant, it comes and goes and occurs in both lungs in different areas. I do have a history of bronchial conditions as well as distant family members who have had lung cancer. Ive since quit smoking completely, but it has only been a month. I am 25 years old and generally in good health. I take multivitamins everyday and run three times a week. Once my medical insurance takes effect at work I intend to see a doctor, but thats not for another two months.I am very concerned about this and would love to hear if youve heard about this before. My one comfort is that Ive got several friends some of whom are heavy ciggarette smokers who complain of the same symptoms, one of them even suggesting that its just tissue irritation that will go away if the smoking stops.
