Avatar f tn When your smoking weed or cigs all your doing is inhaling the smoke in your lungs in and out why wouldn't it be in your system if your breathing the smoke in and out even if the blunt isn't touching your lips?!
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 he want smoke around me. So just look up the facts on second hand smoking then present your facts to your family & let them know your concerns regarding your unborn child.
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 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 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.
Avatar f tn t matter whether it is drugs he is smoking or normal cigarettes - both are dangerous. Second hand smoke does just as much damage to you and your unborn baby as smoking yourself so make sure you're not around him or anyone else smoking anything. Probably a good idea he tried and stops though since he's going to be a dad.
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 m tn People actually develop an allergic reaction to cigarette smoke, and even without it not having clean air can aggravate the sinuses and lungs. However, if you take a person with an allergy out of the environment of that allergy their symptoms get better and if they're away from it long enough the symptoms usually disappear. Cigarettes are also known to cause havoc on a persons immune system, making it weaker...
203342 tn?1328737207 I was talking with my quit smoking coach yesterday and she told me this type of smoke (on clothes, in cars) now has a name - third hand smoke which can also be dangerous. Try going to American Cancer Society for more information. I bet they have something on this.
Avatar n tn My bf seen it and how the baby was trying to escape it in the stomach! Now he wont smoke in the car or let me go anywhere that has smoke. But he never smoked in the house in the beginning. He slowed down on his own...i tried not to nag him about it bc i didnt want him to smoke bc i was doing that.
Avatar f tn It does get in your system and they can tell if its first hand or second hand but depending on your state, a bill was recently passed against so expect visit from staff if any form shows up in the baby, this year they are cracking down on mothers. Just be careful hun, hope nothing goes wrong for you and people start to respect your breathing space.
Avatar f tn I was on probation for a little while (young n dumb) n my probation officer informed me that THC showing up in a UA from second hand smoke is nearly impossible. He would have to smoke an ounce with u in an enclosed area like a vehicle.
Avatar f tn My partner still smokes and I get his second hand smoke I tell him not to but he says its hard lol I'm early on in pregnancy like 14 weeks and find it kinda disrespectful at times so I can totally understand where you are coming from hun
Avatar f tn Second hand smoke is just as bad for you, and your baby as it would be if your were smoking yourself. You need to ask her to smoke outside if you're there. The fumes go into everything - fabrics etc so it lingers and isn't good.
Avatar f tn Please make those times your last. Second hand smoke Does get into ones system, that is a fact, so it makes sense to me it would effect a test. Unless you live with your parents, if I were you, I would avoid them until well after your surgery. I had an emergency gastric bypass a month ago. I am healing nicely. I chalk it up partially to the fact I quit smoking over 3yrs ago. Since you have to stop smoking anyway, please take this time to commit to stopping for good...
Avatar f tn Dnt worry my bf nd his friends smoke around me all the time i asked my docter if it will effect me or my bby she said no the olny way for it to get in my system is if i smoke but being around it wont hurt
Avatar f tn If you are breathing it in then it's in your system you can still get a high from second hand smoke he shouldn't be smoking around you
Avatar f tn its jus smoking & second hand smoke you jus gotta worry about. more of second hand smoke tho.
Avatar f tn Make sure you continue your healthy habits and stay away from the second hand smoke. 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 t think a little second hand smoke will hurt your baby x
Avatar f tn And what you read is correct. THC will NOT be in your system at detectable levels from typical 2nd-hand smoke exposure. The THC in your system was as a result of your smoking mariuana for 2 weeks.
