Pulmonary dysfunction in cocaine smokers.

R D Weiss, P D Goldenheim, S M Mirin, C A Hales, J H Mendelson.   

Abstract

The authors report another complication of freebase cocaine smoking. They found a significant reduction in the carbon monoxide diffusing capacity in the lungs of two patients. This suggests that inhalation of the freebase of cocaine may damage the pulmonary gas exchange surface.
