Avatar f tn I have a close friend who has been addicted to marijuana for a long time, she also smoked during her pregnancy and no they did not test her for it when she gave birth. I don't know much on the effects of marijuana use during pregnancy but I strongly suggest that you look into that for the benefit of the baby. I know that she breastfed for quite a while, continuing to pass the drug onto her child. Our sons are the same age and have been friends since infancy.
Avatar f tn I smoked through both my other pregnancies of 40 fags a day, my little boy is fine, however my 12 year old daughter is a severe asthmatic, i no my smoking is so much to do with that. I am currently smoking between 10 to 15 rolls ups a day. I s there anyone out there who can give me some advice or share their experiences with me if similar.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with arrythmia last may, i stopped smoking 18 years before, i have always had an active life style running marathons and half marthons etc. Could the smoking have contributed to the illness i am a 55year old male.
Avatar n tn Does anybody know how smoking effects the progression of Hep C? I smoke quite regularily and im getting worried.
Avatar m tn Long term effects of smoking 1 year in your very early 20's. Serious? No Worries. Glad you stopped. Take care of yourself and you should be fine. Lung Cancer is a crap shoot anyway. Chris Reeves' wife died of it and never smoked. Some folks smoke there whole life and no problem. Your biggest problem with smoking that goes unspoken of usually is COPD, and its a serious problem. Good Job for quitting. You will be better off for it.
Avatar m tn I have also been coughing for the past 2 months, with mucus (sometimes brown) coming out sometimes. I have complete stopped smoking since last week. I'm worried I might have COPD, however I can exercise normally. My troubled breathing occurred a day after my chest workout as well.
Avatar m tn Hello, I am 16 years of age and I smoke marijuana every single schoolnight, and on weekends. I started smoking about 3 years ago, and have been smoking almost every day for a year and a half. What could be possible negative effects, is what I am wondering. It does not effect my work ethic, Ive gotten one C on a report card in two years. I love skateboarding, and stay active doing this every day that is possible. And I absolutely love to smoke weed, by myself, every night.
1571737 tn?1295772392 QUIT smoking!!! COPD only worsens over time... but you can manage it for a lot longer period of time if you quit. If you don't, it's like greasing the wheels of your deathbed, and pushing you down a hill. STOP now. My father just passed away from this disease, and it tested it and tested it.... Just don't ignore and hope you're the lucky one to escape the grips of this disease...
Avatar n tn yea some people say so but i don't believe it ... This is because my grand dad is smoking since age 15 and now he's 68 and he's perfectly fit !!! And u know what , He have 8 children !!! Soo i don't believe this bulshit and it does not affect ur sexual life at all .... !! it have other side effects , though ..! bye.
Avatar m tn Marijuana can stay in your system for weeks or months depending on how often you smoke. Red/swollen eyes is a common symptom of smoking marijuana, along with paranoia. Some people hallucinate/become delusional depending on dosage. Marijuana effects everyone differently. Some become completely retarded. Some act like 5 year olds. Some feel it increases their vitality. some feel it makes them smarter, some feel it relaxes them and eases their anxiety.
Avatar n tn Just remember to soak the radiated area heavily with aloe vera gel ( I went through a gallon!) and treat yourself with a smile and as much rest as you need, don't fight that this is only a season of your life. The tissues in the breast are healing and I am so very blessed to have had the cancer cells found so early. I am still struggling with the tamoxifen issue. My oncologist suggested starting it when I was radiating...not at all a good idea for me.
Avatar n tn Who knows? Marijuana brings out what's already inside us, so if this was something waiting to come out, well, it's here. But you could just be suffering a long high; marijuana is very strong these days and sometimes if you smoke a lot the high can last a while.
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 m tn At first I had very little side effects - in fact, I felt fantastic and ceased smoking within the first week. Three weeks into the treatment, I became emotionally very unstable, crying for no reason, feelings of worthlessness - almost an induced depression with insomnia, very vivid dreams, severe join pains etc. I coped well with those until I went out one night, had a few drinks and a total blackout followed.
Avatar n tn Just go for it and good luck today you can do it. I am on Chantix too and played games with it the first few months like you are smoking here and there. Now I am on Day 16 smoke free and it's a great feeling!! This is the longest I have gone since I started smoking 21 years ago at age 15. Good luck you can do it!!!
Avatar m tn Im an adult ADD who has successfully treated with Dexadrine XR spanules for 5 years or so, until this past summer when my employer changed insurance plans to some new insurance plan that does not at all cover Dexadrine Spanules. So unless I want to pay $350+ per prescription for a month, its a non-option. So, my Dr. prescribed me adderal 10mg XR instead, since its covered at an intermediate level by my insurance plan, only a $30 a month co-pay. (Old plan used to be $10 a month).
Avatar m tn I would taking up a discussion with him explaining the adverse effects in detail. If this does not help, a psychologist review may be helpful. Hope this helps. Take care!
Avatar f tn What are the side effects of smoking when pregnant? Did any of u girls smoke when u were pregnant? I'm 16 weeks and trying to quit but it a lot harder than I thought .
Avatar n tn d slip into the underweight (heading towards anorexic) BMI category (which does not really apply to children but pretty close for your age). You can expect side effects (more likely to have blemishes for example imo) And, you would again likely impede your expected continuing growth in height.
Avatar m tn At 16, this teen is dealing with a lot of issues. It’s very unfortunate that they have started smoking, but there is still hope. Work with them and explain the negative effects. Do some research on how much tar gets in the lungs and show what happens to the lungs. Discuss the physical effects smoking has on the body. One of the successes I’ve had is when I show the kids real lungs, both healthy and diseased. I also show how much tar gets in the lungs in a year of smoking.

Avatar f tn I still continued to smoke for a couple of days, but only a couple of puffs from my husbands cigarette 2-3 times a day, then I looked online about the effects off smoking whilst pregnant and quit straight away! There are times when I would like a cigarette but I care for my unborn baby a million times more than a dirty fag! Honestly the best thing you can do is quit, every time you smoke your babies tiny heartbeat has to beat extremely fast as it struggles for oxygen!
Avatar m tn Hey, no, your penile arteries are not damaged from hypertension or smoking. It may of course happen (at age 50+), but if it did, you would have lots of other symptoms as well, such as leg pain when walking, chest pain during exercise, etc. Narrowing of arteries affect all arteries, not just the penile artery. This is good, because a simple test may make you rule this out. A carotid ultrasound.
