Avatar f tn No. You can't get high from second hand weed smoke unless someone literally sits there and continuously blows smoke right in your face for countless hours....
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.
Avatar f tn 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.
1117137 tn?1345227905 i hear you on the second hand smoke, and i used to be a smoker too, i quit the day i found out i was pregnant - and it wasn't hard cuz i had noticed a week before we found out they weren't doing anything for me- and actually making me turn "green" But my husband still smokes... and i can't stand it!!
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 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 n tn t tell they were until this lady literally exhaled the smoke almost in my face as she walked by and I definitely inhaled some second hand smoke -- it was that strong. I literally had to get off the phone and ask them were they serious. I just got a new job and will be expected to take a drug test next week. I normally wouldn't think much of that episode, but am somewhat concerned because I definitely inhaled some of the second hand smoke as they walked by.
Avatar n tn Ive tried explaining to him that second hand smoke can be just as harmful but he doesnt wanna believe me. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it in his head that its important that he stops? Has anyone been thru a similar situation? How bad is second hand pot smoke?
Avatar f tn Make sure you continue your healthy habits and stay away from the second hand smoke. SIDS as well as second hand smoke dangers to you and you baby are important considerations in maintaining health for both of you. There are good prescription options for quitting smoking if your husband is willing to discuss them with his doctor. Chantix has had great success and well as Wellbutrin and quitting will keep him healthier for his baby too. Good luck!
Avatar f tn The second hand smoke is not good for you or the baby. Ask mom, if she can smoke outside of the house. Plus, there is a tiny chance that u can test positive for weed. My friend went to a concert when she was around 4 months and everyone was smoking around her. At her next dr. appt. The nurse talked to her about her "drug use" because she tested positive for weed. She explained what happened and the.nurse said ok, but for her next two appointments the.
Avatar f tn its jus smoking & second hand smoke you jus gotta worry about. more of second hand smoke tho.
1900462 tn?1352775302 Alright. I do not smoke. 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 m tn When I posted last time about oral cancer from giving her oral, I was told the risk of cancer was close to zero unless I smoke or chew tobacco (i dont, ive only smoked a few cigarettes and a few cigars in my life, and havent smoked anything in about 4 years). But what is the risk of cancer from smoking marijuana or drinking alcohal, wine or beer? I'm very sorry if this is superflous or a waste of your time.
Avatar n tn Smoking is a risk factor for several cancers including lung, bladder, esophageal, kidney, laryngeal, oropharyngeal, stomach, and pancreatic cancer. Just like in any risk factor, a patient who smokes may or may not develop any of these cancers. Smoking also places one to develop heart and lung diseases. COPD is an example of a lung disease that is caused by smoking. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn , but I doubt a couple of hours of second-hand smoke would cause you anything other than immediate discomfort and even some upset of the stomach - the nose/lungs should recove soon after leaving the contamination. Of course there is such a thing as too much smoke (fire fighters and victims) who require hospitalization to recover - but I can't see that being very likely for what you describe.
Avatar m tn So every man should be aware of the strong possibility of developing this slow-growing cancer. Treatments are often successful. The biggest risk is ignoring the tests as no one knows for sure the cause. Regular sexual activity is likely a more healthy activity for the prostate than unhealthy, and unless the penis skin is in regular contact with strong chemicals of a "man-made" origin (insecticides, herbicides, etc.) sexual activity is likely a healthy thing for the prostate.
Avatar f tn My partner still smokes and I get his second hand smoke I tell him not to but he says its hard lol I'm early on in pregnancy like 14 weeks and find it kinda disrespectful at times so I can totally understand where you are coming from hun
Avatar m tn When I say less damage I don’t mean none, because tobacco smoke can cause cancer in the mouth as well as the lungs. Also, even though you aren’t inhaling smoke directly through the mouth to the windpipe, you are inhaling it through the nose. Otherwise you wouldn’t sense any aroma, and the aroma is most of the pleasure. In effect, you’re breathing your own second-hand smoke. So you’re probably spending some of your quality life time and time to disability on tobacco use and enjoyment.
Avatar f tn Also second hand smoke is bad too; children who grow up in a house with smokers are more likely to be sick and have asthma problems during childhood than those who live with nonsmokers. I know how hard it is to stop smoking, but you have to do your best. Try to remove yourself from people who smoke, if they live with you ask them to start smoking outside. (Especially if they will still live you after the baby is born. Second hand smoke can kill.
Avatar f tn re not a bad mom, it sounds like you might not have known what to do. Always walk away from smoke. Avoid it at all costs. Second Hand smoke is bad for you and your baby.
Avatar n tn Now we learn there is a risk from second-hand smoke, ask you girl friend to stop smoking to help reduce risk of early death for both of you.
Avatar f tn t want her over there nor them coming to see her smelling like smoke because My mom who has never smoked a day in her life is dealing with a collapsed lung and lung cancer due to 2nd hand smoking. The smell of smoke harms my mom. And I just really fear for my daughter.
Avatar f tn It is scientifically proven that cigarette smoke, even second hand smoke is very dangerous for the unborn child. Please do the research and make an educated decision about the health of your child.
Avatar f tn I think its both positive and negative. It teaches the kids the dangers of smoking/second hand smoke and the problems it can cause as well as the result od death. As for the negative, the kids with the smoking patents are now worrying about losing their parent(s) due to the day care. Im an ex smoker myself.
