Question
I have lower vascular problems and have quit smoking but still want one badly.  Does smoking marihuana causehi vascular problems??

Answer
I know giving up smoking is not easy, but smoking marijuana is not going to make it easier, in fact it may make things worse.

Please google search for "Kanna site:www.hypoglycemia.asn.au" for a herbal remedy that is said to reduce cravings for cigarettes.

Also have a look for nutritional support for cardiovascular disease at:

I hope I have been of some help.
