Is this the same for marijuana smoke?

Although absent nicotine I would suspect marijuana smoke is harmful to the airways and can trigger an asthma exacerbation, especially in babies and children. Long-term effects? Also "hangs around" in materials same as or similar to cigarette third hand smoke?

Thanks,

Yes, the aerosols behave like cigatette smoke and the ways to decrease it are similar (e.g., ventiliation, smoking bans).
