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 Hookah smoke contains high levels of toxic compounds, including tar, carbon monoxide, heavy metals and cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens). In fact, hookah smokers are exposed to more carbon monoxide and smoke than are cigarette smokers. As with cigarette smoking, hookah smoking is linked to lung and oral cancers, heart disease, and other serious illnesses. Hookah smoking delivers about the same amount of nicotine as cigarette smoking, possibly leading to tobacco dependence.
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 I disagree with the comment that we should accept it and not try to educate people about the dangers of smoking while pregnant. There are a lot of really young moms on here and notall do know all the risks with smoking.
Avatar f tn I'm a bad mother already at 25 weeks. Health anxiety ripping my mind apart and now developed neck pains and im scared even more. I'm a crap mother to be. Literally. Only consolation are cigarettes but I cry each time because of my lil boy inside me. What can I do I'm all over the place.
Avatar n tn Funnily enough, you would expect someone my age and who is very cautious of drugs to be more aware of what was inside these things. What I thought was just simply flavored smoke turned out to have Nicotine and other chemicals (found out after some research from CDC and other reliable sources). I really don't know why I didn't put two-and-two together beforehand. Kind of shocked on my end about my rather poor judgement. This has caused me some anxiety.
Avatar f tn My doctor told me no as well but as told me not to quit cold turkey gradually cut back and wean yourself off of them...
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 f tn s so dangerous and harmful to my precious baby, everytime I craved a cigarette I looked up the danger of dangers of smoking whilst pregnant on the internet, the things that really made me not light up were that every cigarette smoked made my babys heart beat really fast, it said online that I might aswell just squeeze my babys umbilical cord for a while, resulting in my baby not having enough oxygen and struggling :( I quit cold turkey and haven't looked back, I'm now 37 weeks and it'
Avatar n tn The risk of mortality during and after the Lap-Band surgery is very rare as compared to other types of weight loss surgery that has higher risk of death. One of the risks involved is that it is possible that the Lap-Band device can erode into a patient's stomach. This Lap-Band erosion can be corrected by surgically removing the eroded band. The band around the stomach can also lead to obstruction or may even puncture the stomach.
Avatar n tn Check out my myspace at www.myspace.com/donotsmokeplease I am promoting the dangers of smoking. I will keep you in my prayers. I can understand what you are going through.
Avatar n tn re most likely laid up, I would like to suggest a website called whyquit.com. While your recovering, you can educate yourself on the dangers of smoking. You are very young and quitting now will be a lot easier than 10 or 20 years from now. To answer your question simply though; YES, one or two cigs a day will hurt you! Good Luck! :) --- 3m 4d 16:55 smoke-free, 1,433 cigs not smoked, $394.
Avatar n tn i am a 16 year old diabetic type 1 who would like to know the dangers of smoking cannabis?
Avatar f tn So, here I am, for the probably 4th time tapering off a 8-10/day hydro habit. I am wondering...is this anything like quitting smoking? I smoked for 23 years, and could not imagine life without my "best friends", my cigarettes. I mean...what would I do when the phone rang, when I got in the car, after I was done eating, when I went out, sat next to the pool, etc etc. I remember thinking how will I EVER ENJOY life again without my cigarettes.
Avatar n tn Smoker’s melanosis is due to long-term tobacco smoking. Smoking cessation is the treatment of choice. The hyperpigmentation then disappears in a few months. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar f tn 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 Why risk something that has been scientifically proven to affect an unborn fetus? Science was a whole lot different for our parent's generation, scientist know so much more about the dangers of smoking than before. I just couldn't see myself taking chances like that knowing as many negative stories about it.
Avatar f tn Re-reading what I wrote and feel a bit daft! I do agree with everyone else here! I was ignorant myself of the dangers of it, so am more educated now thanks to the good people here. I feel stupid for stating that it's legal. Alcohol is legal. It almost killed me and TG I haven't had a drink for several years. I wish I could take my post down. I agree that it is something to be more concerned with, and feel like my post was way too blase.
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 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 m tn I only just recently looked up the dangers of doing this but I could not find a definitive answer, could someone tell me how dangerous this is and what the dangers are?

Avatar f tn I was in and out of the hospital nonstop. My ob dr finally told me to try smoking a little bit of weed for the naseua Meaning not to smoke it to get high just to help the sickness. Which thankfully my sickness stopped before I had to try it. But I doubt my dr would tell me to if it was going to cause problems with my pregnancy. I will say it was def not her first choice in telling me.
Avatar n tn Could you please tell me the risk of keeping gallstones instead of having surgery to remove them? I am schelduled for surgery on July 8,however, I am scared to death to be under general anethesia. I have had two c-sections and my husband says the risk for a c-section is greater than that of gallbladder removal. Is this true?
