Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Smoking can cause irreversible narrowing of small arteries which are also affected by buergers disease. It is good that you have stopped smoking so that further damage will not happen.
Cannabis smoke also contain several toxins which causes damage to small arteries. So its use harmful for you.
Wishing her good health and all the best.
