I just found out that I either have, or I'm on the verge of getting emphysema. I smoke cigaretts like a fiend, & smoke weed pretty much the same way. I'm gonna start taking Chantix (sp?) on Tues. to quit the cigs, but I don't want to quit weed. Quitting smoking cigarettes will be hard enough. Even my doctor said to worry about one thing at a time.

Here are my questions. Does anyone here know if weed contributes to emphysema? My doctor really doesn't know. She said there weren't any studies on it. She claims weed doesn't have tar or nicotine, but she just doesn't know.

My other question, and this is going to sound ridiculous, but I think you guys will understand, but I'm afraid the Chantix will make my desire to smoke weed go away. I don't want to stop. How messed up is that, lol!! But I'm WAY more concerned about weed & emphysema, so if anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it! I'm going to get a pulminary function test tomorrow, & I'm a bundle of nerves. And I'm not even sure if the Chantix will work but it's my only hope. I'm the world's biggest moron for picking up this idiotic habit again after 10 years. Anyway, ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!
