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 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 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 f tn On ur quest to quit smoking. Tea tree oil chewing sticks and black licorice root (which can be purchased at a health store) help greatly to calm the urges to smoke. It can take 8 min for the strongest urge to subside. Chew on a black licorice root, don't hang out with ppl who smoke for awhile. Find out what ur triggers are and replace them with new, healthier habbits. And most of all, don't feel guilty if u relapse, u can always try again. Dev new coping methods.
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 m tn s Association, said this study offers more evidence of the dangers of secondhand smoke and the risk for dementia. Smoking is already recognized as a risk factor for Alzheimer's, and the risk can be extended to exposure to secondhand smoke, she said. "There are findings that secondhand smoke can be just as detrimental as smoking itself," Carrillo said. "We recommend that people do not smoke and try to reduce their exposure to secondhand smoke as well." Dr.

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 n tn During the winter my father heats the house with a wood stove. knowing what I know about the dangers of smoking (even though I still smoke outside) I began to wonder, with winter weather already going on in my neck of the woods, if the smoke from the wood stove might be as dangerous for his health as the smoke from my Marlboro. I've been doing some research about wood burning stoves and people with heart conditions.
Avatar n tn Coronary artery disease develops as a result of damage to the blood vessels caused by smoking. The most common symptoms of coronary artery disease include chest pain that feels like pressure or squeezing and shortness of breath. This also could potentially be the initial signs of a heart attack. Heart attacks are the number 1 killer of women. Make an appointment and go to your doctor immediately and have all of the appropriate tests done. Again, this is very serious.
1134609 tn?1269272200 I have a family member that's BP and she's been seeing a homeopath that's basically 'fly-by-night'. He pops into down every six weeks, dispenses his concoctions, dishes out bad advice and then hits the road again. However, my family member has struggled with BP disorder for a very long time; the mania has been destructive. She's really had a difficult time 'finding herself' and figuring out who she really is.

Good Luck! :) --- 3m 4d 16:55 smoke-free, 1,433 cigs not smoked, $394.
1377258 tn?1279316070 You should probably get to your dentist for a professional cleaning of your teeth. Smoking makes the gum shrink back and you may now be accumulating plaque around the gumline of your teeth. This would make the gums irritated and they can easily bleed. It can also attribute to bad breath. A simple cleaning may be all you need. Please call your dentist. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn Each cigarette contains about 10 milligrams of nicotine. Nicotine is what keeps people smoking despite its harmful effects. Because the smoker inhales only some of the smoke from a cigarette and not all of each puff is absorbed in the lungs, a smoker gets about 1 to 2 milligrams of the drug from each cigarette. A drop of pure nicotine would kill a person-in fact, nicotine can be used as a pesticide on crops.
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'
