smoking

Avatar f tn U would have to Inhale a lot of second hand smoke to have a positive drug test. Please do your research people. & If its uncomfortable to u tell him to stop. I smoked with my now 3 year old son until about 16 weeks. People tell me hes the smartest 3 year old theyve met. Not saying it is ok but i dont think its as extreme as people make it out to be. 3 years later im smoke free & 11 wks preggers again. & My little boy is fine.
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 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.
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 f tn It's second hand smoke. So yeah its bad.
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!!
Avatar f tn its jus smoking & second hand smoke you jus gotta worry about. more of second hand smoke tho.
Avatar f tn t date any man who smokes as second hand smoke is just as dangerous as first hand smoke. The smoke also goes into your hair, but I guess you knew that Eve.
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 All other drugs make you do dumb stuff and have all sorts of chemicals in it , unlike Marijuana, which is a natural herb . Marijuana contains THC , not man made chemicals. Cigarretes cause birth defects even with just second hand smoke. All other drugs cause birth defects, such as crack babies. But when have you heard or read about marijuana babies ? There's nothing in marijuana that makes it addicting. Its because you have grown accustomed to it and see it as an everday routine.
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?
1580703 tn?1651904887 I too have developed asthma at 57 years of age, or maybe earlier and didn't know it. I too like you thought it may have been from second hand smoke, but I don't think you can get this from second hand smoke after researching the subject. COPD on the other hand is associated with smoking. My condition on the other hand may be due to a hiatal hernia or either allergens, which I plan on getting checked out soon.
Avatar f tn Well my doctor is fine with it. She knows that I only smoke when I'm stressed and that's the only time I do smoke weed. As for the drug tests go she knows. And as far everything else as far ADD, ADHD, and OCD. My fiancée has ADHD and OCD, I have ADD and OCD so the baby is going to end up with it either way. For the research I have been up to date on all weed studies from my doctor. She said you'll be recommended to stop at month 6 or 7 in pregnancy.
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 f tn Oh and my older two have asthma and I didn't smoke ANYTHING with them and was NEVER around second hand smoke, my youngest does NOT have asthma and I smoked a bit with him (primarily oils though). My first two were also preemies yet my last was fullterm born 2 days before his EDD.
Avatar f tn I am not a doctor, but I think that it's absolutely terrible if you've gotten COPD from second hand smoke. I really hope that the "second hand" smoker that's been exposing you WILL now have the incentive to quit. I would personally, feel horrible if my smoking caused someone to get copd!!
5555001 tn?1372873198 There is new research suggesting third-hand smoke (particles on clothing, furniture, etc.) is carcinogenic, not just first- and devond-hand. Any time you can smell it, you and your kids are exposed to cancer-causing agents. I have no idea what the law says, but you might be able to bring this up with your landlord (research in hand) or even CPS. Of course, it may be that nothing comes if it, in which case you will have to live with it, or find a different living situation.
9126885 tn?1404418392 so, doctors will obviously recommend that a woman not smoke during pregnancy. 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 m tn there have been various studies done on second-hand smoke regarding meth (including other drugs); particles can attach themselves to clothes, hair, etc., and can be taken into the lungs by inhalation causing damage over an extended period of time...
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 Does anyone know of any open stem cell research studies or proven successful stem cell therapy treatments to stop and/or reverse viral attacks on the human body? I heard this type of therapy is out there but don't see many studies. Not even finding studies specific to a particular virus (HSV, HPV, coxsackie, ....
