Avatar n tn Vaping is WAY worse for you and the baby than cigarettes are. I'm currently trying to quit; have been a pack and a half a day smoker for years and after a week I'm down to 5 or less a day. If it's just too ******* hard and you have to have a cigarette once in awhile. Do it. It's better than putting other chemicals into your body that your system isn't used to. Vapor isn't just "water" and the "nicotine" is a chemical compound designed to mimic it.
Avatar f tn I still continued to smoke for a couple of days, but only a couple of puffs from my husbands cigarette 2-3 times a day, then I looked online about the effects off smoking whilst pregnant and quit straight away! There are times when I would like a cigarette but I care for my unborn baby a million times more than a dirty fag! Honestly the best thing you can do is quit, every time you smoke your babies tiny heartbeat has to beat extremely fast as it struggles for oxygen!
Avatar f tn I believe it has its risk as for its tobacco and a form of chemical. Everything has a risk but can't say for sure it will harm the baby. It is just highly not recommended. Do your best to play it safe. That's like me and coffee right now.
1900462 tn?1352775302 My boyfriends grandma smokes and I know usually when your pregnant that the smell of cigarette smoke makes some people sick or gag. Only difference with me is that I smell it more than I did before now that I'm pregnant. The thing is is that my boyfriend and I live with his grandma right now she might move out later but it really depends. So I'm just really really really concerned for me and my baby's health.
Avatar f tn My parents do and their house reeks of it, my husband has asthma and when I'm over there just to catch a bus to my job she starts them up without reguarding what it does to me and our baby inside, she knows I'm pregnant Ahd forgets obviously, I don't wanna be rude but God the house smells horrible, I never noticed till my husband married Me and pulled me out of there, he says don't say anything its their house, but our house we don't allow any cigarette smoking period.
Avatar n tn Here I am, thinking I wouldn't even begin to find anything when I google "smelling cigarette smoke when no one is smoking", and I find I'm not alone. For the most part, I am not subjected to smoking anywhere - no one in my family smokes, my friends don't smoke, I work in a no smoking environment and in a state that doesn't allow smoking in any public place. Suddenly, like everyone else, I'm smelling cigarette smoke - whether in my car, my office, my home.

Avatar f tn Just found out I was pregnant and I smoke cigarettes Im well aware of the effects it can have on my unborn child. Its hard to quit and my bf is getting impatient and upset with me because of it. What can I do to kick this habit?
Avatar f tn I haven't had a cigarette in a month since i've been sick. I want a cigarette right now i don't care. I'm afraid after going through the vicodin withdrawal that smoking will hurt me or cause me to have a panic attack. All i want to do is smoke a cigarette. will i be okay. I didn't know if it interferes with the vicodin thing or not.
Avatar m tn Each cigarette contains about 10 milligrams of nicotine. Nicotine is what keeps people smoking despite its harmful effects. Because the smoker inhales only some of the smoke from a cigarette and not all of each puff is absorbed in the lungs, a smoker gets about 1 to 2 milligrams of the drug from each cigarette. A drop of pure nicotine would kill a person-in fact, nicotine can be used as a pesticide on crops.
Avatar n tn 2 days ago i had an operation to get a bone graft in my mouth to get my teeth back after a horrible accident would smoking an electronic cigarette have the same effects as smoking a normal cigarette? i cannot hav any loss of oxygen in my bone or blood cells somebody please help me!!!!
Avatar f tn But do it in a nice way of course. You can explain to him the negative effects of cigarette smoking, and you don't want him to suffer from its painful effects, that you want him to live longer for your family especially for your children. You can both research of other alternative to lessen his cravings for cigarette and eventually quit it for good.
Avatar f tn So I know this woman who is about as far along as I am (34weeks), and she smokes at least a cigarette everyday, and has been throughout her entire pregnancy. She told me it was because her doctor said that of she "quit cold turkey" that it could have negative effects on the baby because of with drawels, though she had plenty of time to quit by now. Is this true?? What do you guys think??
Avatar f tn Feeling stressed is an ongoing symptom/side effect to quitting smoking. It only takes a few drags to make yourself ruin how good you've been doing and want to start smoking more again. Smoking is also habitual. So if you decide to smoke every time you're stressed that is all you will EVER want to do when you feel that way. You need to find new ways to cope with your stress...because it honestly sounds like that half of a cigarette has brought you nothing but more stress.
599170 tn?1300973893 I do get why people smoke sometimes I still crave a cigarette. but I know if I ever picked up one cigarette it would be all over Id be back to two packs a day in a flash.
Avatar f tn I quit about a week after I found out I was pregnant cold Turkey I'm 26 weeks 4 days now and about three hours ago I smoked a cigarette because I was extremely stressed and upset because my little sister ran away (I found her and she's home now thank god!!!
Avatar m tn My 5 y/o grandson drew a picture of a "person" with privates and smoking a cigarette. He was drawing with his 4 y/o sister and 2 girl cousins, ages 10 and 7. No one else drew "in detail" like that. Should I be concerned?
Avatar n tn If you were raised in a home where others smoked....or if you are in an environment, e.g. public place, workplace, where smoking is permitted, you may have incurred a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) from second-hand smoke. Also, working in construction, with asbestos or other related materials, or other occupations where chemicals are present (fiber board, plastic manufacturing, etc) you may have damaged lungs without realizing it.
Avatar n tn Any thoughts on the electronic cigarette? I'm unsure how the nicotine dose is regulated and any health issues. Could inhaling this vapor cause lung fungus? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.
Avatar f tn however, my husband started on it, then read the possible side effects, got scared and quit taking it. I have not had a cigarette for 5 yrs, he still smokes. Keep in mind the side effects are not inevitable; some people get them, some don't. The drawback to Chantix is that it's expensive and is not covered by insurance...... insurance companies would rather cover the diseases caused by smoking than a cessation program...... go figure.
Avatar f tn Its so hard to stop smoking I really want a cigarette but I know its bad for my baby and advice? Somebody told me you can smoke at least two a day is that true?
