Passive smoking. Harmful?

Well, I am not the best person to answer because you are questioning to the smoker not the inhalers and I am the one who gets passive smoke. Well, I would say that passive smoking is as harmful as direct smoking because the body doesn't know that you are taking the smoke by cigerate or by only smoke. It know only the fact that dirt particles and smoke particles are coming into the body and hence it is as harmful as direct smoking.

my son smokes in front of me and says he am crazy his smoking does not affect me.

According to what I've heard and read, second hand smoke is harmful to others. If your husband smokes outside of your presence, you're probably okay. My brother-in-law has COPD and has never smoked. So there's no guarantee that you won't have problems as a non-smoker or as a recipient of second-hand smoke. As for lack of consideration, I don't know. I'm a smoker and I was inconsiderate of my daughter when she was growing up. I didn't even know about the effects of second-hand smoke then, but that's beside the point. All I cared about was getting my nicotine fix.

I am a smoker and to me any smoking is not good for you. I guess you might want to know is it ok I mean whatever you do is your business, even being a smoker I know any of it is bad. I guess if you smoked like a cig a week I could not seeing it hurt you, but than on the other hand some people get lung cancer without ever being a smoker so I guess it could still be bad. SO in the end I would say any smoking is bad. Happy mylotting

I am no longer a smoker but I used to be for quite some time. One of the reasons I quit was that I just purchased my first home and needed all the money to put into renovating the house. The other reason was I was tired of smelling the way I did after I smoked. When I had my son they told us at the hospital that it was best to stay away from people who smoked whether they actively smoke in front of you or not. The smell still lingers on their clothing. When I was a smoker I was aware of this and tried to respect others' wishes. Now that I am a mom, I'm even more aware especially when we're out and about because more and more smokers are being forced outside to smoke. I do think it's harmful and I do try to stay away from the smokers.

Absolutely..actually it seems it is even more deadly than inhaling

I believe it is harmful. Just like a car belching pollution on the street can make you cough and even sick to your stomach, second hand smoke can hurt people and especially children and animals. That's why I never smoked around my children and I don't smoke in my house now because of my dogs.
