Common Questions and Answers about Second hand smoke health

smoking

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 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.
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 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 No. You can't get high from second hand weed smoke unless someone literally sits there and continuously blows smoke right in your face for countless hours....
Avatar n tn I'm assuming you mean were exposed to second hand smoke for a few moments while in the car? If that's the case I highly doubt that would be enough to cause any kind of damage.
Avatar n tn Ive tried explaining to him that second hand smoke can be just as harmful but he doesnt wanna believe me. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it in his head that its important that he stops? Has anyone been thru a similar situation? How bad is second hand pot smoke?
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 f tn t make her do nothing while living under her roof, I mean she could atleast be considerate knowing you can get second hand smoke and may cause problems for your baby. I suggest you find your own place that's on your budget or get a hotel.
Avatar f tn its jus smoking & second hand smoke you jus gotta worry about. more of second hand smoke tho.
Avatar f tn It is scientifically proven that cigarette smoke, even second hand smoke is very dangerous for the unborn child. Please do the research and make an educated decision about the health of your child.
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 m tn Ask her to smoke outside for your and babies sake. Second hand smoke kills blowing smoke out the window is nit effective as 80% of smoke is invisible and does not all go out the window or blows back in. Your baby's health is number one priority and she should understand this. Smoke contributes to asthma..chest infections..ear infections...sids..even death. Your son shouldn't be breathing fumes for candles either as its a carcinogen same as incense sticks.
Avatar f tn If your family isnt willing to stop smoking and you have other options use them. Second hand smoke is awful and bad for your baby.
Avatar f tn There is such a thing as second hand smoke which could cause asthma. My asthma plan is this. I have two inhalers. One inhaler I use twice a day, morning and night. It's called Pulmicort. I've been taking it for years to control my asthma. I also use another inhaler called Bricanol, which I use as needed. So , not every day and in limited quantities. Your doctor would advise you on the amount. I didn't have asthma when I was a child.
Avatar f tn Also second hand smoke is bad too; children who grow up in a house with smokers are more likely to be sick and have asthma problems during childhood than those who live with nonsmokers. I know how hard it is to stop smoking, but you have to do your best. Try to remove yourself from people who smoke, if they live with you ask them to start smoking outside. (Especially if they will still live you after the baby is born. Second hand smoke can kill.
Avatar f tn I hold my breath when i walk by someone smoking to avoid inhaling it! I do it when not pregnant too just because i hate the smell. I agree that you wouldnt be getting enough to be harming your baby.
Avatar f tn My mom and her boyfriend smoke in the gouse it drives me crazy. Not only because I'm concerned about my baby's health but cigarette smoke is one ofthose smells that since I've been pregnant makes me sick to my stomach. I asked her and him to only smoke in her room and smoke and to open the window anytime they do. So far they've been pretty considerate and dont even know I'm pregnant yet.
Avatar f tn What would you do if you were in my situation? Is there a risk for second-hand smoke to my daughter if she wears these clothes? Any and all help/advice/info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
