How bad is second hand smoke from cigarettes?
My boyfriend smokes. We live together. He never smokes in the house. He goes outside on the lanai (balcony); but when the when shifts, it will sometimes blow smoke to where I'm at in the house. Also, when he comes in after just having a cigarette, the smell is very strong and I can feel it in my throat. I have an inherent lung condition. If he won't give up cigarettes, do I need to give him up.
Answers:
give him up.
even on the porch its still getting inside.
He cares more for the plant than u.
ALso, 2ndhand smoke can kill too.
And for some 2ndhand smoke is just as bad as smoking itself.
The second hand smoke from cigarettes are probably overrated. My father was a chronic smoker and my brother chain-smoked everyday when I was young, but I am alive and well. I have moved out but still, I don't really think second hand smokes post much of a problem.
Oh, you have a lung condition. This is really a dilemma but you should take care for your own health first. I believe you could ask him not to smoke in front of you, in which case he might get pissed. But a gentleman does not smoke in front of a lady ( according to the Victorian book of ettiquette). If he does not take your wants seriously, then the best thing to do is to dump him.
Think about it this way, the 2nd hand smoke is unfiltered and filtered smoke is bad enough.
it's up to you.I would give him up..But I don't wanna be around that all the time..Good Luck :^)
The International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded in 2002 that:
There is sufficient evidence that involuntary smoking (exposure to secondhand or 'environmental' tobacco smoke) causes lung cancer in humans.
Involuntary smoking (exposure to secondhand or 'environmental' tobacco smoke) is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).[42]
Most experts believe that moderate, occasional exposure to secondhand smoke presents a small, but measurable cancer risk to nonsmokers. The risk is considered more significant if non-smokers work in an environment where cigarette smoke is prevalent, although few studies bear this out.[43]
In May 2006, the United States government's Center for Disease Control issued its first new study on secondhand smoke in 20 years. Surgeon General Richard Carmona summarized, "The health effects of secondhand smoke exposure are more pervasive than we previously thought. The scientific evidence is now indisputable: secondhand smoke is not a mere annoyance. It is a serious health hazard that can lead to disease and premature death in children and nonsmoking adults." The study estimated that living or working in a place where smoking is permitted increases the non-smokers' risk of developing heart disease by 25-30% and lung cancer by 20-30%. The study finds that passive smoke also causes sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), respiratory problems, ear infections and asthma attacks in children.[44]
Give him up. Ask him to chose which is more important, you and his health or his disgusting habit? He may chose the latter but you will win in the end.
This one is a no-brainer. Say adios to the boyfriend and save a life, your own.
second hand smoke is 2 times worse then the smoke when you take the drag because it is unfiltered!! can be 2 times as harmful!
well let's see i believe the cancer board has published plenty of info saying second hand smoke causes cancer so wha do you think?
He seems to be very considerate and tries to not have the smoke come into the house, that's good.
Second hand smoke - when someone smokes inside the house - is dangerous. There are enough studies which show that. But in your case it seems that does not apply.
I personally would absolutely not want to be with a smoker because of the taste of the kisses and the smell of the clothes and all that.
For you this is you own very personal decision. Perhaps there is a Chance that he stops smoking. I am sure you talked with him about it. But perhaps you can arrange for something creative, like a little rewards program? Like if you don't smoke for one whole day then ..whatever you come up with.
If you guide him lovingly and creative onto this path he may be willing to try this and accept it easier then with simply asking to stop.
Second hand smoke is deadly. It kills. It is carbon monoxide. The same stuff that comes out of a car's tail pipe. You do the math.'
it is as bad as actually smoking cigarettes yourself.
yes, it causes death ( lung cancer / breathing problems ) in some people
About as bad as your neighbors car exhaust. Second hand smoke has never been proven to cause injury! In fact sines people stopped smoking, other lung problems is up about 400 percent. Man in a world hat puts put 400,000 tons of crap in the air, you blames smokers!
Second Hand Smoke isn't bad at all. They just try to tell you that so you won't smoke, and try to make it where smokers cant smoke no more. If your boyfriend won't give up smoking for u, then he isn't worth it. Ask him and see what he says.
yes it is very bad. it is the same as if you were smoking. my wife's aunt has broncites because her husband smoked for years even though he quit 10 years ago she is very sick now. either talk to him about this or tell him to hit the road.
2nd hand smoke can kill. your boyfriend, does he love the cancer sticks more or you more. i know giving nicotine is hard, but it can be done.
How dumb are you?? Did you not answer your own question? I was married to a smoker for many years. The walls in the house were yellow and dripping with nicotine. He is dead now of smoking related illness (massive heart attacks, congestive heart failure, ignorance, stupidity). I am healthy and so far, no cancer, but experts say second hand smoke is MORE deadly because we don't have the advantage of the 'filter'! If he doesn't quit for you, then you decide. People have the right to smoke, but not in my breathing space.
If he doesn't give up smoking despite your health problems.drop him. He is too selfish.
