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 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....
326505 tn?1304169225 Happy 4th to all of us and when you are celebrating the freedom of our United States, perhaps with a BBQ and a few drinks, remember that you are an ex-smoker and that the freedom we are celebrating should reflect that we have broken away from a drug that kept us prisoner for so long. For those outside of the U.S.
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.
414635 tn?1272217693 Even when I smoked, second hand smoke bothered me. I could smoke a cigarette but choked if I inhaled second hand. I am just glad now that I was able to quit. I was always conscious of other people around me. Wish the rest of the California laws would pass here.
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 I agree you should be careful and try to stay away from it. Second hand smoke effects everyone and is especially bad for baby. Did your doctor explain any of this to you? A drug test is something to worry about, but you and baby's health is much more important than that.
1601804 tn?1297628981 A note on second-hand smoke. Insurance companies rate people who smoke; i.e., they charge the applicant more. However, I have never known of a case where a non-smoker was ever rated. (My husband is an insurance agent.) Insurance companies are in the business of making money and their underwriters are very savvy about risks. What I am saying is that the hysteria about second-hand smoke is just that - hysteria.
Avatar f tn What would you do if you were in my situation? Is there a risk for second-hand smoke to my daughter if she wears these clothes? Any and all help/advice/info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Avatar f tn its jus smoking & second hand smoke you jus gotta worry about. more of second hand smoke tho.
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 m tn Smoking is number one reason for getting it.. Second hand smoke #2. But their are people who have never smoked that also get it.

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?
