1117137 tn?1345227905 is it just me or is second hand smoking SO annoying? i think my radar is just super tuned in right now, but it seems like people just light up and leave their used butts, everywhere! i understand that it is a free world, but i guess i just find it even more bothersome, now that i have another life to support inside me. i will go as far as pulling my shirt over my face as i walk by it, and i don't care who sees that or what they think.
Avatar f tn You and baby are fine unless the smell makes you physically ill.
Avatar f tn I seat down and basically told him the results for second hand smoking and how that was much worse than actually smoking. So we came to the agreement that he would just smoke outside when we come over & he want smoke around me. So just look up the facts on second hand smoking then present your facts to your family & let them know your concerns regarding your unborn child.
2006603 tn?1331329327 There are many risks with second hand smoke exposure even for ppl who are not pregnant. Second hand smoke can cause under developed lungs, increase the chance of sids, low birth weight, baby can develop asthma and a bunch of other things too. Its good your fiance doesn't smoke in the house or around you but he should get into the habbit of not smoking in the car either. The nicotine can settle into the fabrics which is the same as smoking a cigarette while being in the room with the baby.
Avatar f tn its jus smoking & second hand smoke you jus gotta worry about. more of second hand smoke tho.
Avatar f tn Look up some articles if you want to know the effects of smoking. You don't want to put anything into your body tat isn't good for either of you while you are pregnant. I don't know of any doctors who would encouraged you to continue smoking unless you are stressing out more from not smoking.
Avatar m tn Marijuana can cause panic attacks in some people. Mainly in people who have been smoking for a long time, however, I suffered panic attacks after only 4 months of smoking. Marijuana stimulates the pleasure cells in your brain. If you wan't a scientific answer do a web search. Personally, marijuana affects on me were : increased taste, increased hunger, increased sense of hearing, increased sexual pleasure, increased interest in simple or mundane activities, increased paranoia, and sedation.
Avatar n tn There was a video on youtube on the affects of cig smoke to your baby. My bf seen it and how the baby was trying to escape it in the stomach! Now he wont smoke in the car or let me go anywhere that has smoke. But he never smoked in the house in the beginning. He slowed down on his own...i tried not to nag him about it bc i didnt want him to smoke bc i was doing that.
Avatar n tn t think much of that episode, but am somewhat concerned because I definitely inhaled some of the second hand smoke as they walked by. Any chance this could show up in a test? Since I was exposed to the smoke and felt that I inhaled it, I am trying to figure out how the smoke would not be able to affect a drug test with a false positive. Thoughts?
746512 tn?1388807580 I have to walk outside to get to some of classes and if I pass more than one person smoking or get too many wifts in my face, my chest really tightens up and I'm forced to use my rescue inhaler. The problem is this has been an almost daily occurence and I hate taking ventolin that regularly. I am already using 800mcg of pulmicort a day and even at that level it has been giving me muscle cramps and messing up my period, so I don't want to increase it. Any comments?
203342 tn?1328737207 I was talking with my quit smoking coach yesterday and she told me this type of smoke (on clothes, in cars) now has a name - third hand smoke which can also be dangerous. Try going to American Cancer Society for more information. I bet they have something on this.
Avatar f tn Look if you're that worried about your baby then seriously just stop going over there. Think about it if you will. You either be alone or go to your grandma's where you will inhale second hand smoke which is way worse than smoking itself. It's terrible that your gma is like that but if she is indeed like that then just stop going over there. She obviously doesn't care to stop so just stay home and try to stay occupied. Your babies health is of the utmost importance.
1580703 tn?1651904887 It is most unlikely that your condition is due to second-hand smoke. Note that insurance companies (and they are in the business of making money) do not rate people for second-hand smoke. That means that they do not consider the applicant at risk. They do rate smokers. Several years ago there was a study to determine the effects of "second-hand smoke." Result? There were no effects. Nada. Look for some other cause for your lung problems.
9663463 tn?1407525554 Thankfully my husband quit along with me when we found out we were expecring. But m mother in law on the other hand is selfish +although she claimed she's so proud of us,she still lights up right next to me, or if we're at her house she'll smoke inside even when we're there..then she gets super pis sed when my husband says something to her. Like its putting her out to not smoke aroundme lol.
9126885 tn?1404418392 But second hand smoke is probably more along the lines of the first poster. The same as being around second hand cigarette smoke. Not great but not like smoking it yourself. Once should be fine.
Avatar f tn When you see the horrible effects that can happen to the baby because of smoking, quitting will make it that much worth it. Smoking ciggs can cause cleft lip and stunted growth as well as respiratory problems. Quitting for those 9 months to avoid a life time of health challenges for your child will be worth it in the end. I promise you!
Avatar f tn Second hand smoke could possibly have some effect on fertility being around it consistently. Especially if it's indoors or in a closed off environment. Other than that if it isn't too often, it wouldn't be as much of a problem. Second hand smoke often is more or less like smoking yourself, you're still getting the toxins.
Avatar n tn For the past few months i been playing video game on computer pretty much all day , not going out , not working and on top of that smoking weed from time to time and drinking lots of coffee. Since last week i started feeling real dizzy all the time , specially when i go out, everything looks kind of different . I feel weird talking to people and i lost inspiration to do other things. I stop smoking marihuana 3 days ago for good. but i still playing, not as much. Symthoms didn't go away.
Avatar f tn Even second hand smoke can be harmful. Ask them to smoke outside and not around you. Visit smoke free houses. Just the smell can make some women nauseous.
Avatar f tn I have never smoked, and I have asthma from second hand smoke when I was a child. My friend had behavioral issues as a child that ended up being from nicotine addiction (when he was at home he was fine, but at school he was going through withdrawal). When I was little they didn't fully understand the effects of second hand smoke, but it's becoming clearer now. I would urge them to quit, or to smoke outside, or you could try moving in with your boyfriend.
Avatar f tn Second hand smoke is just as bad as smoking yourself. Second hand smoke kills too, it effects the babies lungs and can cause breathing issues for you both.
Avatar f tn Now that a lot more is known about second-hand smoke, I'm really curious if when I got married to a smoker if that didn't bring on my allergies. Within 1.5 years of being married and living with a smoker, I all of sudden developed severe allergies where I was waking up every 30 minutes because my nose was completely closed up. I became allergic to the world, there's no place I can move to alleviate it.
Avatar f tn There's not a lot of evidence that I know of (i work in a related field). In general, to test positive through secondary exposure is considered technically possible but you'd hafta breathe so much in such a small space for a really long time that it doesn't really happen. Any kind of smoke, first or second hand, damages the lungs so there's that. but no to your original question.
5555001 tn?1372873198 d be upset too knowing that there is young children and they hopefully are aware of the longterm effects it has. I have asthma because my parents smoked around me when i was little but I really don't think you can do much.
Avatar n tn Until recently, however, this relation was based on observational studies and the effects of smoking were thought to be synergistic with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, glucose intolerance, age, hypercholesterolaemia, and pre-existing cardiovascular disease. Now we have definite evidence that smoking itself has a direct causal effect on stroke. Cigarette smoking is thus a definite independent risk factor for stroke, particularly ischaemic stroke.
