smoking

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.
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm just curious in people's opinions of something. I am an ex smoker. No longer have the habit. My child's daycare have been taught that smoking kills people etc.. so move away from people if they're smoking. A lot of parents from the daycare have come in abusing the child care Centre as they're smokers and there young children keep telling them they're going to die.
Avatar f tn Did any of u ever smoke hookah when u were pregnant? Is it just as bad for the baby as smoking cigarettes?
Avatar n tn I agree with you 100% bluebutterfly2222. To the minority of women who have sworn off mammograms,I have only a few things to say.... I hope they won't have to regret one day that they could have saved their lives had they thought seriously of the terrible consequences they might face if the breast cancer becomes too advanced to be cured. So many women today are alive and well because of testing with mammograms... and that includes me. Thank you bb.
1431734 tn?1421011671 t have made it through treatment without my Ambien and like Diane I used it all of the time with my children when they were little (well not all of the time..........) and it was fine I doubt any pediatrician would prescribe it for children if it could possibly carry any risk. Plus a ton of people here have taken it to help them over the years and I'd think by now someone would have advised against it.
Avatar f tn Ur not useless. And ur aiding in blessing the world with another life. Don't be so hard on urself. In addition to writing down good things about ur baby write down positive things about urself. Whether you quit or not is up to u & I'm not here 2 sway u one way or the other. I'm sure u are already aware of the dangers. My sis in law has 5 children and smoked with all of them. All 5 are healthy. Do what u can & don't beat urself up over what u can't.
Avatar f tn I put up a post in the 25-34,forum yesterday about e-cigs and the dangers of the fluid, especially to children.
Avatar m tn There is more concentration on what kind of person you should feel like for smoking than the physical dangers of tobacco. Lastly, raising prices for something in terrible economic times is only causing crime to rise, and it continues every day. So these methods or ideas to stop smoking are not working to good. So comes the last attempt, make it illegal. This desperate idea will cause nothing but things to get worse.
Avatar f tn I should have simply stated WHAT it was, not pontificated about the legality of it. It was almost like I was regressing to my own smoking of it and the BS I told my mom. (thinking of course that it wasn't BS at all, at the time). Sorry if I was misleading in the innocuousness of it. Best of luck with your daughter!
Avatar m tn Hi there, My daughter and her BF had a roomate that smoked that stuff. It's not good. Apparently it is herbs with something that they call synthetic THC. A bunch of chemicals. Here in Utah they are making it illegal because it's considered hazerdous. Google "smoking spice dangers" and there is alot of stuff on it. I think it is telling that there is a push in some states to legalize pot, and yet they are banning that stuff right and left.
Avatar f tn I received a letter from the Medical Examiners office today. I found my glasses and prepared myself as I opened the letter. Inside was a "form" telling me that the results were in. If I want a copy of my son's "cause of death" records, I'll have to send them a check! OMG! I have to PAY to receive this dreaded document?! What a slap in the face! I crumpled up the letter and threw it in the trash, only to retrieve it several hours later.
Avatar f tn s ever to early to discuss the dangers of alcohol/drugs with your children. My mother and father were BOTH raging alcoholics and I am NOT! I agree that it can be passed down but we also have a CHOICE. educate your son on the dangers, have his dad tell him his struggles, and lead by example. That's all we can do as parents. I agree with the above about sugar and processed foods! Its addicting in and of itself....
Avatar n tn Yes this is very dangers .You should talk to your dr.your not going to get into any trouble. You need to tell them though it could be life or death.I mean don't you want to be safe?
Avatar f tn What Quitting Does to Your Body Although you may not consciously be aware of the benefits of quitting in the first few days, your body is actually reaping the rewards almost as soon as you’ve stubbed out your last cigarette. Twenty minutes after your last puff your blood pressure and heart rate drop; within 12 hours, your carbon monoxide levels are back to normal.
Avatar f tn Not only is the action of smoking itself is detrimental to the health of the baby, but we do not know how cannabis intake can affect the developing brain.I understand that smoking is extremely addictive, but there are certain things we do for our kid that are very hard, and one of them is being pregnant, taking care of our bodies while pregnant and nursing (and I am not even talking about giving birth!). That is only the start of a difficult life of a parent.
Avatar f tn not only does he do it infront of her which makes me crazy mad i just walked in on him doing it in the house. Now i know that the vapor is only water and wont her me or the kids but it doesn't mean it is ok to disrespect my wishes...i cant believe he would do this again to me. I wanna just pack and leave till he can figure out how to stop lying to me but idk. I am so torn it isn't funny.
Avatar n tn As with any surgery there are some risks; (complications occur less than 1% of the time) but if you are sick enough the doctor thinks you should have a PM or ICD implanted, then heed their advice. Have you looked up PM/ICD surgery risks on the American Heart Association or googled it to see the risks?
Avatar f tn Hi ladies I have a question, me and my hubby used to smoke hookah alot but ever since I found I was pregnant I obviously stopped, I am 34wks pregnant and my hubby recently started Smoking hookah again but the VAPORIZOR one, the one that you smoke out the pen.
Avatar f tn This may be a good opportunity to start educating your 2 year old on the dangers of cigarette smoking. Teach him not to ever pick them up, especially when he’s older and others around him may be smoking.
Avatar n tn I am 63 years old, I have scolosis. Dr. put in the Harrington rods for the upper part of my back in July 2010. Then within 6-8 months the lower spine started to turn, had the rods put in the lower section in Dec.2011. Ended up with foot drop in left side. I am in pain constantly, the right leg feels like needles are sticking the bottom of my foot. Left hip has sciatic pain, lower center of spine constantly feels like it is on fire.
Avatar f tn Teaching them about the dangers of drinking, illegal drug use, and smoking tobacco would help, too, of course. The American Academy of Pediatrics recently issued new guidelines on teenagers and alcohol use, designed to help parents teach their children to make wise choices. The number one suggestion: Have a strict family policy of no drinking, smoking, or drugs before age 21.
535089 tn?1400673519 The intention for my statement on Suboxone were the questions and CASUALness of the drug. It seems that people have this notion that taking Suboxone is totally safe and effective after stopping opiates...or not stopping opiates. My story is very typical for someone who wasn't under a Doctors care and the Doctors and nurses who were at my side said that I was not the firstthey had seen with these reactions. I don't want others to take this drug lightly.
Avatar f tn It is quite amazing how what we find impossible to do for our own sakes, we women are able to do for the sake of our children. It shows our strength and the strength of our love for them. I know without a doubt that you will be able to do it as well. Good luck to you.
Avatar f tn Quitting smoking does not put extra stress on your baby. Quitting smoking is one of the best things that you can do for your health and your baby’s health during development in the womb and after it is born. By quitting smoking, you will be protecting your infant from the dangers of secondhand smoke and reducing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Myth #6: Smoking fewer cigarettes during pregnancy is good enough. Fact: There is no safe level of smoking.
Avatar n tn it seems to me that you have a very negative outlook on life to begin with, and maybe it is yourself that is pulling you down and damaging your physical and mental health, not the herb. Herb is for the healing of the balance in you. But nevertheless, I respect your opinion and point of view!
Avatar f tn Well they talk about always reaching for the better feeling thought and going with the flow of the river instead of fighting the current. So, according to Abraham's principles, I would reach for the better feeling thought. Moving from depression to joy when I thought of children was difficult, because it's a huge jump. So, it's one small step at a time. Which for me is that I love children. I love their smiles. I love their laughter. Just thinking about these things makes me smile.
7680419 tn?1399056811 My wife is a principle of a high school and they sadly lose at least one child a year to pills... They do educate on the dangers of prescription drugs but she agrees it is not enough and is working on a curriculum to improve it's current status but she also said that in the past 5 yrs or so she is seeing a much higher volume of children coming into high school already using a gateway drug, experimenting with harder drugs, or addicted to a drug...
