Imagine how good of an athlete he would be if he didn't smoke at all. Being able to run or climb doesn't mean that smoking isn't having an affect on him. The effects will be different from person to person. Unfortunetly convincing someone to stop smoking is very hard if not impossible. If they're going to stop it will be because they want to stop not because someone convinced them. I tried getting my dad to quit but he still does to this day. Your best bet might be to get him to cut down a bit. Maybe tell him that the second hand smoke is affecting your health. Studies show that second hand smoke can be even worse than smoking in the first place. Good luck whatever happens! For more information on health, visit http://straighthealth.com

Not very good reasons to start smoking. I've smoked for thirty years and have no will power to stop but I try to stop anyone from picking up this habit. Let me fill you in on what you can look forward to if you start. Smelly hair (shampoo cant compete with the odor of cigarettes)Smelly breath (Listerine only last so long) Wrinkles around your mouth from that oral sensation your talking about.Shortness of breath (so forget any strenuous sexual workout. House smells like a astray no matter how much you clean. Food doesn't taste as good as what it does to you now. Finger tips turn yellow or brown from smoke. Cloths stink after a couple of hours of wearing them. All by the way cigs are four to five dollars a pack but you need to add in the cost to see your doctor because you'll have more colds and sinus problems and your lungs will slowly be destroyed so you'll need inhalers and probably medications to help your lungs function. So if you still want to know best brand let me know and I'll tell you mine.

I'm not a smoker nor do i like cigarette smoke:\n\nhow close do you live to this person? You make it sound like he/she is walking up to your windows and blowing it in. There is nothing you can do about it. It is still their legal right to smoke in their house or on their property. Unless you are window to window with this person i think you are being a bit ridiculous. That person has every right to live there. I dont think there is a problem to address to your neighbor. You just seem like one of those unbearable neighbors that nothing makes them happy.\n\nSecond hand smoke is just as bad as doing it yourself but once again unless you are window to window or he is blowing it in your windows i think your kids will be just fine. I mean do you expose your kids to other things in life that arent so healthy? Sugar,mcdonalds,tv??????

No really you shouldn't. Smoking is extremely bad for your health and so many people die from lung cancer and emphazemia each year. Peer pressure is tough to deal with. If these are your friends, then you should consider whether or not they really are your friends. Why would they pressure you into something you don't want to do? But of course, if you want to, it is your choice. Listen to your conscience and don't let others make a fool of you. In other words: Be your own person. Oh and to tell off those people if they give you a hard time, show them pictures of what lungs look like when they are affected with lung cancer. Hope I helped!

Think about it....second hand smoke has been linked to lung cancer. You are inhaling direct nicotine and smoke. Now what do you think? \n\nYes, it can and does cause lung cancer regardless of how little amount you smoke. You are also at a potential risk for bronchitis, emphysema, pneumonia, cystic fibrosis, asthma and more. You'll do yourself good if you quit.

Well it would be preferable he didnt smoke and definatey not in the bedroom it is to dangerous .get him to take his clothes of in the bathroom if possible he should shower but some men dont like it .There are mouth washes and sprays he can use to take the taste away while you kiss him .Smoking can effect a mans function to keep an erection next time you visit a doctors or library see if they have the brochure on erectile disfunction just leave it somewhere near where he sits he may pick it up and read it you never know unless you try that way you dont have to tell him anything .

Every fruit and vegetable has unique properties that contribute to good health, smoker and non-smoker.\n\nThe golden rule is color: the more colors of fruits and vegetables you have, the better the balance of nutrients you are receiving.\n\nWhile I could give you the breakdown of vitamins and minerals for various vegetables and fruits, know this: there are a variety of undiscovered and recently discovered chemicals that contribute to good human health.\n\nBroccolli has received a lot of attention since the discovery of yet-named chemicals. These chemicals provide protection from carcinogens, and helps heal the damage already done by carnicogens. Since cigarette smoke is jam packed with cancer-causing chemicals, broccolli has been identified as a key food to consume.\n\nSpinach, cauliflower, uncooked carrots, peppers, onions and garlic all contribute to good health and good healing.\n\nThey must be fresh, served without corn/vegetable oils, no salad dressing, no butter. No deep frying or smothering your broccolli with cheese.\n\nAlso, you need whole unprocessed grains. These are key to repairing damage done by smoking. Steel cut oats, whole grain breads (not whole wheat breads), wild rice and basmati rice should be part of a post-smoking recovery diet.\n\nEat several servings of each every day. You will feel better and look better.\n\nCongratulations on successfully quitting smoking. Not an easy thing to do, so I think you will have an easy time enjoying all the fresh fruits and vegetables that await you.

If you don't like it, don't smoke it.\nIf you don't like someone else smoking it, then try learning about it.\nIt's not very harmful - the biggest danger by far is from the police state!

I'm no lawyer, but it sounds like you have a case.   Your neighbor has a right to smoke in his apartment, but I imagine that his rights end where your apartment begins.   \n\nTell your landlord that you're going to contact a lawyer to explore what legal options, if any, you have.    That alone could be enough to rattle his cage and make him do something about the situation.  \n\n.

There are so many things that smoking does to the body. The really sad fact is that it does not just hurt the smoker. It really does effect all persons around them. \nA smoker has increased risk of respiratory and vascular complications. Smoking actually creates a tar substance in the lungs and decreases the persons capacity to take in oxygen. Also smokers veins and arteries are constricted from chemicals in the cigarettes. This puts them at a higher risk for blood clot causing stroke.\nMothers who smoke when they are pregnant usually have smaller babies. A nonsmokers umbilical cord (which supplies nourishment to the baby) is usually about wide as a roll of quarters and the smokers umbilical cord is about as thick as a pencil. \nChildren who grow up in the home of a smoker are at higher risk for developing asthma and/or allergies. They can develop lung cancer just as easily as the actual smoker can. Not to mention that growing up with parents who smoke puts them at higher risk for becoming smokers themselves. \nI have a grandfather that smokes. He is eighty. The last several years he has been on oxygen. He wakes up at night because he can't get his breath. He has a barrel chest because that is what your body does to try and help you get more oxygen. Your lungs try to get bigger so they can take in more oxygen because the cigarettes have destroyed portions of the lungs over the many years of smoking. Some people would say he has made it to eighty and that is a long time for a smoker to live. You have to keep in mind that most of his family lived into or close to their 100's. They say that every cigarette takes five minutes off your life. There is no telling how long he could have lived if he had just been able to stop smoking. \nYou may not be able to talk him into quitting. Maybe you could talk him into atleast not smoking in the house and changing his clothes before holding the baby. This will atleast help the people who have to live with this be a little healthier. Good luck to you!

If the person your moving in with is smart, then the cops will never show up.  just take some safety precautions, like have a designated smoking room, keep all gear in one place not strewn about for the cops to find. as for the smell, use a paper towel or toilet paper tube and stuff a bunch of dryer sheets in it, now exhale through this and it should cut down the smell significantly. of course if you don't want to go to all this trouble, then i would suggest finding a roomie that dosen't smoke

There probably isn't a good reason for him to smoke it. Unfortunately that probably won't be enough. \n\nI've known alot of people like that in regards to normal smoking. All of them refuse to stop as well no matter how bad it is for them. \n\nAs to using any drug for a stress reliever, it kind of reminds me of my oldest sister. Stress caused her headaches, so instead of learning how to deal with the stress, she would get medications for the headache, which would incedentally give her a temporary leave from the stress. She would openly refuse to deal with the stress. This went on until a couple mounths ago her heart condition came back(because of the stress) and she died at age 35. Using any drugs for stress can't be a good thing.  \n\nWhat good can it do? Basic pain relief and relaxant. \n\nI also clouds a person's mind. If you could get him off of it for a month, he would have a sharper mind as it has an effect on short term memory.\n\nbut overall it won't actually cause him immediate physical harm as long as he doesn't do anything stupid while under its influence. Due to a lack of study noone knows what it will do in the longer term to him.
