Avatar n tn is a chemical compound designed to mimic it. Not to mention the different types of chemicals they use in the flavorings and solvents.. It's the best idea to stop smoking period but, if your own of those women whose environment or lack of self control (my big issue with cigs) then just cut back as far as you can. Force yourself for your growing child. And if you're still smoking a cigarette here and there, I'm sure the kid will be fine.

Avatar f tn My boyfriend quit "cold turkey" about a month ago. Already he sleeps better and coughs so much less. And although he still struggles daily with the temptation, he's doing a great job, and I tell him so. He has since noticed that his hands are "puffy" (his fingers don't fit his bowling ball properly anymore) and that he is nasally "congested" and thinks it may be allergies.
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.
Avatar f tn Hi I am 17 and I am on metformin. The side effects of the Metformin isn't bad. You do have to go to the restroom alot but thats how you can loose waight. If you get pregnant it wont hurt the baby but metformin can go threw the milk well thats what I read. You would need to talk to your doctor if you want to breast feed. What that pill does is that it reduces the surgures on the foods you eat. Just start slow. Start with 1 for a pill for a week and then 2 ang just go on.

Please help.
Avatar n tn With COPD we have to be very careful of what we are exposed to breathing wise. I am in the moderate stage of COPD. I have noticed that certain smells really bother me now. Dust, bleach, perfume etc. I do believe an environment can make our symptoms worse. Personally, I worked in warehouses and was exposed to many bad things. Chemicals, dust, fiberglass, propane ran forklifts etc. I do believe those things over the years contributed to my COPD.

Avatar f tn my mom's friend smoked both like crazy while pregnant and thank god her baby girl is healthy. It can pose a serious threat to your baby, because it gets oxygen from the umbilical cord it's connected to you and so whatever you do to your body is going to the fetus.

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 f tn I just quit..at 5 weeks im almost 8 now..it was really hard at first cause the craving was serious but everytime I thought of a cig I instantly thought of my baby's health and the fact that I was in the week where its heart started to form I couldn't even imagine picking up another cig knowing that my baby is depending on me to keep its environment as safe as possible.
Avatar n tn The most dangerous thing that could happen would be for her to eat any of the marijuana or to get any food (cakes etc) prepared with it. Then she would be in trouble. The side effects of ingestion would begin with: loss of co-ordination,listlessness,dilated pupils,slow heart rate, possible urinary incontinence, and if the toxicity level was high enough could lead to cardio-vascular involvement, and eventually coma and death.
Avatar n tn and you would swallow the H that drips down but the sore throat is not too common. he amy be smoking something..

Avatar n tn I thought I wouldnt be able to cope, my wife smokes, and she still smokes to my dismay, her grandmother is sick with COPD and on oxygen, and she still will not even read what I read about the effects of smoking..her grandmother just had to give up after being hospitalized for the umpteenth time... I though I wouldnt be able to, I bought some Nicorette inhaler cartridges, then I decided not to use them as I wanted to clear my body of Nicotine once and for all...
Avatar n tn i feel the best when i wake up in the morning and then it kinda starts through out the day. i also have alot of random thoughts and alot of things remind me of people usual they just pop into my head. im trying to figure out whats going on and if it will just go away?
Avatar m tn Hi, i'm 18 going on 19 and I smoke maybe ten to twenty cigarettes a day and have been smoking for about 3 years now. I wouldn't say i'm a particularly healthy individual but i'm by no means majorly unhealthy either. I'm having random pains around my diaphragm area, at first I thought they were pains in my chest but after keeping an eye on the problem I twigged that it was more below the lungs and perhaps stomach area/diaphragm.
Avatar m tn You are not going to do permanent damage to your brain from a couple nights of drinking and smoking pot. I don't mean to encourage doing things that have some risk of creating dependency, but the actions of cannabis are temporary-- as are most of the effects of alcohol-- provided you aren't drinking to the point of alcohol toxicity (for example, drinking so much that you pass out, repeatedly).
