Have any Freepers ever looked into the side effects of second hand smoke on the children of smokers?? I wanted to ask ya'll this because of a conversation I had earlier this morning. I was in a doctor's office talking to the receptionist about her 95 year old mom who is in bad shape and we got onto the topic of my own mother, who died at the age of 57 over 20 years ago from smoking related cancer. The lady asked me if I had ever looked into the effects second hand smoke had on kids in the home of a smoker. I looked over at my 8 year old and wondered if my mother's nasty habit was going to take me from my daughter and leave her like I am, trying to raise a beautiful child with no guidance.
One data point: My mom smoked while she was pregnant and NEVER held back on smoking. She smoked in the house and in the car.
I have not smoked, but was diagnosed with COPD at 40.
LOL, don’t even get me started on that, otherwise I might post my graphic on it. That whole business with CFL’s vs incandescents made me post it many times on FR!
He disputes the idea that 2nd hand smoke causes all the deaths that are being stated as fact.
I do too...
Smooth gar....loved it!
Then there was the fairly benign “arsenate” used in pressure-treated lumber, which they banned and replaced with a toxic cupric compound, which can leach into the ground water....(not to be used in damp areas)
HELLO! If it’s not raining here...something’s wrong.
Idiots.
Those 30% think you are smoking hashish..........
How were you diagnosed?
The Dr. told him it was.
Know that the largest cohort of lung cancer victims world wide are Chinese women who cook over poorly vented smoking oil
I swear. They could **** up a wet dream.
“...with healthy filtered cigs of their own!”
Well that’s stupid. Why filter out all of those nutrients and vitamins!? I used to smoke Camel straights - was up to three packs a day the last few years that I smoked. Same as a previous freeper’s story - quit when we had a baby on the way.
