If you do your best not to smoke in front of anyone, what are the chances that someone will breathe in your secondhand smoke?

For example, l do my best to only smoke in private places when no one is around. l never smoke around my girlfriend. What is the likelihood that she could be affected by my smoking? Bare in mind that the smoke does get trapped in my clothes and stuff...

Please help. Thanks.

lol

Stop smoking.

chances are 5 of 10!
stop smoking

well the smoke can only espace at 1 time so its like real quick so she wont be affected by it

If you do not smoke around her she wont be affected by it.

well it helps alot if you dont smoke around people, but they still could breath it in l guess if its in your clothes.

well if shes or anyone else is not around you while you are smoking they cant get second hand smoke, and im pretty sure you cant get it from the clothes someone who smoked was wearing

l do not think you have anything to worry about , that amount of smoke really wont do any harm , but why do not you try to quit smoking

l do the same as you and there should be no negative effects for anyone else but you. The stink in the clothes just makes us smell bad, it is not a health danger.

well if you smoke and then dont see her for an hour or some time then thatll be fine. l mean there are so much cancer causing agents in the air from machinery and such all around us. if you keep doing whtat your doing(not smoking around her) im pretty sure she'lll be getting way more second hand smoke being away from you at her job out grocery shopping or whatever than being with you. if you catch my drift

she most likely (95%) chance wont be effected by it and im not trying to be rude or an ass but if she does get effected and dies who is gonna suffer you or her so yeah something to think about especially sense you the smoker man just quit its better for you and her any questions myspace.com/soccer1794 or email at sockylsimaol.com thanks good luck

It is nice that you care.

l will spare you the lecture about how you should not smoke at all. You're definitely taking precautions to try to make sure that your smoking does not affect your loved ones. The harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke are most highly concentrated in the actual smoke.

If your loved ones are only breathing the smoke via your clothing, the effects should be minimal. The most likely effects would be itchy eyes, etc.not lung cancer.

Since you try to avoid smoking in front of these people then it is very unlikely that they will be affected by your second hand smoke. Unless you were to do something such as, blow smoke into some ones face, have a conversation with someone while smoking, or being near someone that is smoking they will not be affected by your second hand smoke.
l hope this can help : )

Actually my doctor had suggested (since l was dead set on smoking after l had my son) to wear a separate jacket specifically when l smoke. Nicotine sticks to everything and is harmful no matter how it is inhaled. It is also absorbed through skin which is why l was reminded to wash my hands constantly.


My best suggestion is to quit l did and have been smoke free for 2 yrs. no more worry of harming myself or anyone else.

NEWS FLASH! She is smoking 2 packs a day behind your back!

if nobody is around when you smoke then nobody breathes your 2nd hand smoke in, but the smell of smoke that clung to your clothes can still irritate people especially those with allergic rhinitis. most probably they will start sneezing and have runny nose.

You sound like a really considerate guy. l hope other smokers see this and take your example.

The effect on her should be Zero, as you say only the smell.

l take it you are worried that she might get Lung Cancer. Did you know Smoking, or Passive Smoking does not account for all cases of Lung Cancer. Anyone can get it, also not all Smokers get Lung Cancer, Females for example only increase their risk after menopause.

l admire ur consideration for ur gf is health l wish u had as much for yourself :(

l am not sure the logistics of second hand smoke but you're right it is in ur hair, clothes, & skin & it goes wherever u go.

l do not know how significant ur attempts r honestly. l got bronchitis from years of second hand smoke.
Doctors always ask me if l smoke, it is so insulting to a person who chose not to.

Kissing might be an issue u have not thought of. l wish l knew more to give a more definitive answer but it is all guessing for me.


Anyways l would just ask u to consider thinking more about sticking around for ur gf & give quitting a shot.

Very Unlikely.

Your girlfriend will most likey not be affected by the smoke that has set in ur clothes, unless she smells u deeply. The worst second hand smoke is direct contact. For example, if u smoked right beside her & she breathed it in straight on, that would affect her. But ur being smart & careful about where u smoke & it is kind to think about the health of others. The best & most effective way to ensure ur not effecting ur GF, is to quit smoking. But, that
s totally up to you.

Good Luck & Keep Safe! :)

Nobody has ever died from this secondhand smoke. It is all in people is heads. They just think they will die. They will die from stressing over it, before anyone dies from smoking. It is called being a hypochondriac. Their r plenty of them around too.
So to answer ur question. There is no chance of ur girlfriend being affected by yours or anyone else smoking.
My husband is 41, & he grew up in bowling allys, bars, & had 2 parents who chain smoked, & now has a wife who smokes, & he is one of the healthiest people l know. He also has 2 siblings that smoke too. So by everyone is definition, he should be dead by now from second hand smoke. But he is still around. Why, because he is not a hypochondriac.
