2 Chainz Reacts To Report That Weed Increases Coronavirus Risk
2 Chainz Has Questions On Study That Weed Increases Coronavirus Risk
We’ve earlier reported on a study that shows how vaping is an underlying factor for deadly Coronavirus cases among youths after the US Centers for Disease Control reported that 20% of people who have been hospitalized with COVID-19 are between the ages of 20 and 44.
According to Stanton Glantz, director of the Center for Tobacco Research Control, “When someone’s lungs are exposed to flu or other infections the adverse effects of smoking or vaping are much more serious than among people who do not smoke or vape.”
Well, it appears that it’s not just Vapers that are risk, new study claims that smoking weed can actually make the lungs more vulnerable in catching coronavirus. According to CNN, those that use cannabis occasionally are more susceptible to catching the virus.
“What happens to your airways when you smoke cannabis is that it causes some degree of inflammation, very similar to bronchitis, very similar to the type of inflammation that cigarette smoking can cause,” chief medical officer of the American Lung Association said. “Now you have some airway inflammation and you get an infection on top of it. So, yes, your chance of getting more complications is there.”
Rapper 2 Chainz has responded to the latest development on coronavirus. Taking to Instagram, he shared a screenshot of a similar article along with a photo of himself with a massive spliff in his mouth. Though the study might be alarming for someone who smokes as frequently as him, he did have some questions regarding this study.
“What about cigarettes , cigars , heroin , crack , meth ?? Or only reefa ? Asking for a friend,” he wrote on Instagram.
