Is It Harmful To Smell The Marijuana Smell ?

Is the smell of marijuana smoke harmful? My wife s cousin smokes pot in the basement of the house we share. Little or no smoke actually travels upstairs, (he smokes in the bathroom and its vented outside) but we can smell the distinctive smell periodically and my wife is convinced that it is bad for her lungs.

Thanks for the query

Your wife is perhaps partially correct. Fumes marijuana carries the se amount of risk as passive smoking of cigarettes. I suggest you don't let the cousin smoke in a closed space and actually best for him would be to stop smoking completely
