Cannabis for Seniors: Does Holding in a Hit Make a Difference?

Holding in a hit of cannabis, whether smoking or vaping, does not make a difference in how high you get, but it does expose your lungs to more harmful substances. The majority of THC is absorbed by your lungs within the first few seconds of inhalation.

Scientific studies, some dating back to the 1980s, have consistently found no significant evidence of intensified psychotropic effects from prolonged breath-holding compared to exhaling quickly.

Holding smoke in your lungs longer can be more harmful to your health because it:
• Exposes delicate lung tissue to more tar, toxins, and carbon monoxide.
• Increases the risk of respiratory issues like chronic bronchitis.
• Can potentially cause lung irritation and inflammation.
