How Smoking Pot Will Affect Asthma Patient With Pacemaker?

my 18 yr old step daughter has a pacemaker as a result of being born with a " VSD" ? I think i have that right. she had open heart surgery as a young infant. Besides the heart stuff, she has Chronic Asthma, where she takes 1 pill and 2 inhalers to control it. In the past 3-4 years she has been smoking pot off and on. now since turned 18 she is smoking alot every day. Due to her irresposible behaviors and other factors we have asked her to leave our house... we have warned her numerous times about how bad this is for her, but she ignores us...what can happen to her realistically?
