1117137 tn?1345227905 is it just me or is second hand smoking SO annoying? i think my radar is just super tuned in right now, but it seems like people just light up and leave their used butts, everywhere! i understand that it is a free world, but i guess i just find it even more bothersome, now that i have another life to support inside me. i will go as far as pulling my shirt over my face as i walk by it, and i don't care who sees that or what they think.
Avatar f tn I seat down and basically told him the results for second hand smoking and how that was much worse than actually smoking. So we came to the agreement that he would just smoke outside when we come over & 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 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 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 f tn You and baby are fine unless the smell makes you physically ill.
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 m tn I would also recommend that you stay out of places where smoking is prevalent. Second hand smoke is even worse for you. Take care.
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 m tn , but I doubt a couple of hours of second-hand smoke would cause you anything other than immediate discomfort and even some upset of the stomach - the nose/lungs should recove soon after leaving the contamination. Of course there is such a thing as too much smoke (fire fighters and victims) who require hospitalization to recover - but I can't see that being very likely for what you describe.
8182713 tn?1419265366 Nope you're not wrong at all! My bf smokes & he knws how much i hate it or when he comes up to me after he smokes..it's really bad for you to smell that it harms you & the baby..the baby can come out with any type of defect! i understand where your coming from & he's the father of the baby..but the baby health & your health comes first..even if you're not smoking it's still second hand smoke because you're inhaling it..
Avatar f tn Even second hand smoke can be harmful. Ask them to smoke outside and not around you. Visit smoke free houses. Just the smell can make some women nauseous.
Avatar n tn Now we learn there is a risk from second-hand smoke, ask you girl friend to stop smoking to help reduce risk of early death for both of you.

I have no idea what the law says, but you might be able to bring this up with your landlord (research in hand) or even CPS. Of course, it may be that nothing comes if it, in which case you will have to live with it, or find a different living situation. But I think you are 100% correct in being concerned.
Avatar f tn The second hand smoke is not good for you or the baby. Ask mom, if she can smoke outside of the house. Plus, there is a tiny chance that u can test positive for weed. My friend went to a concert when she was around 4 months and everyone was smoking around her. At her next dr. appt. The nurse talked to her about her "drug use" because she tested positive for weed. She explained what happened and the.nurse said ok, but for her next two appointments the.
Avatar n tn Hello I am a 39 y/o female with a Hx of smoking for about 2 years, on and off (I was age 16-18) and at the time smoked 1 pp week and have no second hand exposure. Also I have been doing soldering with silver jewelry on weekends for the last 2 years as a hobby also with a lot of seasonal gardening. I also worked with cidex cleaning medical equipment one day a week for 2 years also when i was 28 y/o.
Avatar f tn In terms of cancer, generally repeated exposures are what is a problem not a one off touching. Think of smoking. Smoking causes cancer but people are smoking many many times every day for years and years. And even then, only some of them get cancer. Take care. If you find yourself worrying about things like this regularly consider seeing a doctor about anxiety.

Avatar f tn is the baby breathing in second hand smoke? If not...
Avatar f tn My grandpa helped me stop smoking with my first born when ever i had a cigarette in my hand my grandfather took it slapped my hand and broke the cigarette and walked away.
Avatar f tn I smoked on cigarette today but that's the first cigarette I had since I got pregnant I mean I'm sometimes around my uncle who smokes everyday and I heard second hand smoke is worse so I was wondering was it harmful to my babygirl when I did smoke that cigarette?
Avatar f tn I just kept telling myself I was growing this baby and had to do everything I could to give it the best start in life so to carry on smoking would be very selfish.It worked for me and am still smoke free but we are all different!
Avatar m tn Otherwise you wouldn’t sense any aroma, and the aroma is most of the pleasure. In effect, you’re breathing your own second-hand smoke. So you’re probably spending some of your quality life time and time to disability on tobacco use and enjoyment. How much time, I can’t estimate - I’m not a scientist. One thing I’m fairly sure of, though, is that you won’t find an MS neurologist, MS nurse or other MS specialist anywhere who’ll tell you it’s OK to keep smoking cigars.
Avatar f tn t want her over there nor them coming to see her smelling like smoke because My mom who has never smoked a day in her life is dealing with a collapsed lung and lung cancer due to 2nd hand smoking. The smell of smoke harms my mom. And I just really fear for my daughter.
Avatar f tn my bf smokes not inside but I still smell it off his clothes n if I go to a bbq at a family member house I have second hand smoke. ..I try n walk a way cus I know its bad to breath that in...all I think about is having one I'm craving it...what should I do ...
