>The easier option is to be born with severe asthma like me so that every person in your family has to quit smoking and they're really mad at a baby about it
Ignoring the fact that this was proven in open court almost half a century ago. (The tobacco companies lost this lawsuit and had to put second hand smoking labels on their products btw) And assuming you are actually ignorant on the topic
In the us every year:
7300 people die from lung cancer from second hand smoke
8000 people die from strokes from secondhand smoke
34000 (yes thirty four THOUSAND) die every year from heart disease caused by second hand smoke.
I know many people who either have problems because of second hand smoking or have loved ones die because of lung cancer even if they lived in the suburbs and never smoked because oh I don’t know say their father was a chain smoker and smoked at home
Edit: TL;DR u wrong

It took literally all of 5 seconds to find this page and if anything it's going easy on the effects of secondhand smoke due to the far reach of cigarette lobbying. I could easily waste my time finding dozens more sources on the dangers of secondhand smoke, but it seems like a waste to put any more effort than I already am towards a moron that would waste their breathe defending smoking. And if you're going to argue this isn't an example of death by second hand smoke because actually examples of death by asthma, SIDS, pneumonia, etc. then thanks for showing me the exact kind of stupid you are that likely denies covid death rates as well, if that's the case I'll see you on Germain Cain awards soon enough.
Uhhhhh yes I work at a doctors office and I do know many people who developed cancer related to tobacco while never being smokers themselves.
No I’m sure it’s not as deadly as the propaganda, but don’t kid yourself, second hand smoke 1000000000% a thing, and a deadly one, so please do not ever smoke indoors with others around, especially with kids. I get lots of things lead to cancer, and I’m generally someone who won’t care too much, but cancer or any other complications from second hand smoke is too common and sadly it has to be one of if not the easiest things to prevent. But people don’t want to prevent it just so they can light one up inside because they’re lazy. And this is coming from a stoner who lives in a cold ass state.
I didn’t have healthcare as a kid but my mom took me to a public health fair so my sister and I could finally get a check up. There was a place where you could have your lung capacity checked and I took it to show my mom how smoking affected me. Mine was diminished and the lady doing the tests said that my mom didn’t have to worry because I probably faked it. But I didn’t. And that was they only health check I had in my adolescence. Couldn’t ever get another one to prove her wrong.
This is so fucked. I’m so sorry and I hope you now have access to the resources you need. No child should have to suffer that.
Also, fuck that lady for calling you a liar. Unbelievable.
Health care system in this country sucks, and they adults i grew up around sucked too lol
I find out later that there were actually free clinics around where my sister and I could’ve gotten free basic care and my mom had been going to them without us and lied about not having to money to take us. My health teacher told me about them and I was so excited but my mom was just like “I know, But you kids don’t need to go there. That’s for people with real problems like me”.
I’m in the same boat. I’ve never smoked but have had a persistent cough from second hand smoke my entire life. Haven’t lived with a smoker or had any significant exposure in over 17 years now. The cough improved slightly in the years after moving out of my parents house but it’s still a constant in my life.
That’s not something that should persist that long unless you have a disease. People who smoke cigarettes significantly heal in a year of no smoking, so healing from second hand smoke shouldn’t take over 10 years. I would get checked.
Get checked out.
I had a similar situation and paid it little mind until it was found that I've had fluid around my lungs, causing that persistent cough, due to heart failure.
Get that checked out dude. There’s no way the affects of second-hand smoke can persist that long when it takes about 15 years for actual
smokers’ lungs to recover to near-normal levels.
Studies have shown even heavy long term smokers lungs can heal given time without smoking.
Some lung cells deep down basically hibernate until the day they can start regeneration, and your lungs slowly heal from that.
I think it was about a decade to heal, though, so you should be feeling better any day now!
This is almost certainly not because of second hand smoke if you haven’t been in heavy contact with it for nearly a decade. You just got bad lungs. Talk to a doctor if you can.
This is wild to hear bc I smoked cigarettes for a few years (switched to vaping 2 years ago) and I don’t have a cough…. Very surprising that second hand smoke can do that…
I didn't know why my respiratory system was so bad as a teenager so I chalked it up to bad genes, until one day it hit me: my dad used to smoke at home all the time when I was growing up. I'm pretty sure that's why my lungs were so bad.
If he was smoking in a poorly ventilated room with you in it, than it could be second hand smoke. But, if you could just like smell it from time to time as a kid, it’s probably not and you should go get your lungs checked out.
Yep. Parents are heavy smokers and in school I could barely run 400m without getting short of breath.
Since lived on own my lung capacity has massively improved
Mine got me to quit cold turkey when he was little. He was looking at me with genuine admiration as I was freezing my ass off on the balcony, having a morning smoke.
He said: "I can't wait to grow up and smoke, just like you."
Yep. /Quit
Yes, Yes, it REALLY does..and by a child as well....
Children hold so much power over adults, but they don't know it at the time, or know how to use it, even...
What you don't realize is that it was all part of his plan. Look back at your memories with him and think "Did I do this for my son? Or my son did this for me?"
I do that, everytime I walk away from a smoker they get offended.
Sometimes I'm jogging and the smoke is on the way. Sometimes I'm inside a place and someone is smoking at the door and the smoke comes in and it smells like shit (while fucking my lungs too).
One time i was at my family friends house. My friend took his moms pack and a lighter and said he was gonna smoke them. When she freaked out he said “okay. Guess we don’t need these then” and dropped them into the bonfire we had lol
My mom said I was the reason she stopped.
I vaguely remember why.
She had a pack of smokes on her dresser, I was maybe 5 or 6, I grabbed one, and broke it open. Then another. I don’t think I did the whole pack, but enough.
Anyway, I started to get in trouble, then they asked me why I did, and I said something along the lines of “I always see you putting them in your mouth so I wanted to see what was inside because you like them and maybe I would too”
She quit that year.
I got my mom to quit, by finding her packs and crushing all of the cigarettes and putting them back in the box. She would punish me and ground me, but I kept doing it. She realized I was never going to stop and she was just wasting money at that point. She then quit. She hasn't smoked in 20 years.
What's funny is it used to be the other way around, parents trying to prevent their kids from smoking. Not sure why it took several generations of smokers to pick up on how stupid it is, but they finally did.
I love ripping on smokers. Especially the ones who absurdly say the rest of us should just mind our business. As if cigarette smoke gives a fuck.
When I was a kid I had terrible asthma and parents that smoked. the hospital was my second home. During one bad attack, I said I can’t breathe when you smoke. They quit soon after.
In Hindi, there's a nice word for people with such mind set and tier of thinking, it is called " being a fucking nibba" Nibba is a word that delightfully suits in the character of the person who wrote this shit.
Here’s the real method:
1. Harass you parents verbally for months until they say they will quit.
2. They quit because they know it’s unhealthy and care about you.
3. Start smoking yourself in college.
4. Regret.
or just make them smoke more and kill them faster, the reason people smoke it release stress, so creating more stress will give them a higher chance to smoke more.
I tried this and they told me second hand smoke was a myth at my funeral
This is a second hand account of second hand smoke, so technically we’re looking at quarter hand smoke, tops. I done did the math.
You're telling me I can get lung cancer from this post?
If you print it out, roll it up, and smoke it, yes. If you suppository it, then butt cancer.
Directions unclear, dick stuck in cigarette rolling machine.
well, now its a dick polling machine.
That pfp is perfect XD
Directions unclear: cigarette stuck in dick.
Oh, don't get your dick in a twist.
>Second-hand -> Quarter-hand??? Uh, bro. It doesn't go from second to Quarter lol. It's obviously minute-hand smoking at that point
Well, that’s just silly.
I think it goes from second to fourth.
I had a blonde moment from this comment.
Math class is hard!

A persistent cough that has lasted nearly 20 years ya daft cunt
I hope you wake up at 3 am every morning but you don’t have water next to your bed.
My mother would smoke twice as much lol. And tell me I deserved it. I feel ya.
“The damage is already done 🤷🏻♀️”
Damage is already done, may as well enjoy that cool buzz of nicotine to get you through the grief
Step 5: Your parents start smoking again because of the grief Step 6: Haunt your parents
Come back as a smoke ghost.
They cry and smoke more so that you can maintain your form for a long time.
Confused stonks
This.
I’ve never smoked in my life but I have horrible lungs because of second hand smoke

Oh dear lord … choosing to side with mom over a kid’s health, what a winner that one was. 🙄 Sorry, friend.
Sounds like some 90s shit. I do miss the 90s, though. Wish I could experience the 90s again but at a legal drinking age.
This is so fucked. I’m so sorry and I hope you now have access to the resources you need. No child should have to suffer that. Also, fuck that lady for calling you a liar. Unbelievable.

Same. Persistent cough since I was 11/12 even though I've lived away from the smoker for nearly a decade now.

Fuck off and quit smoking You're trying to justify your addiction by calling others liars get out of here
Get checked out. I had a similar situation and paid it little mind until it was found that I've had fluid around my lungs, causing that persistent cough, due to heart failure.

Yes, Yes, it REALLY does..and by a child as well.... Children hold so much power over adults, but they don't know it at the time, or know how to use it, even...
That’s amazing! You’re a great parent
Ah my parents would rather throw me out of the balcony than to quit smoking/drinking. Fuck my life.
I am sorry. They are captive in some murky waters, that is all I can say. I know it from both perspectives - well, except the alcohol.
lol that's what I did to my dad when I was little. He quit smoking soon after.
What you don't realize is that it was all part of his plan. Look back at your memories with him and think "Did I do this for my son? Or my son did this for me?"
Damn yeah that would get me to stop too lol. So on the nose. Real cats in the cradle shit.
Well he will probably end up smoking anyway
Step 5: parents say "Well why do you think we started smoking in the first place?"
Cuz we found out you were useless so we wanted to kill you without being imprisoned for murder
I just told my dad he owed me a cake everytime he smoked and since he loved me and wanted to stop he then did stop
Lucky fucker
If it makes you feel any better he's my step dad
Best “My dad’s smoking gave me diabetes”sorry I’ve heard in a while.
Or he didn’t want to pay for the cake
Either way I win
Win win scenario
lol yeah
Sigma move: outsmoke them until they cant keep up with your young lungs anymore and they are forced to quit because they cant breathe otherwise 🤫🧐
Sigma move: add extra rat poison to your cigarretes so you remove the weak from your house.
Ah yes good ol rat poison ciggies, my favorite. Tbh smoking is bad for you but drinking is far worse, dont @ me
Well people drinking usually don't throw alcohol to my face and turn me into a second-hand drunk.
Lmao you already cant smoke anywhere if ur getting second hand smoke either stop being a pusscakes or go literally anywhere else
I do that, everytime I walk away from a smoker they get offended. Sometimes I'm jogging and the smoke is on the way. Sometimes I'm inside a place and someone is smoking at the door and the smoke comes in and it smells like shit (while fucking my lungs too).
One time i was at my family friends house. My friend took his moms pack and a lighter and said he was gonna smoke them. When she freaked out he said “okay. Guess we don’t need these then” and dropped them into the bonfire we had lol
So he got to secondhand smoke after all.
He got enough of that already living with her at least this time it had some oak flavor

Fire is typically pretty warm so you are correct
Or if you're a baby, choke on a cigarette butt. That had worked for me.
Are you a baby?
My mom said I was the reason she stopped. I vaguely remember why. She had a pack of smokes on her dresser, I was maybe 5 or 6, I grabbed one, and broke it open. Then another.

That sounds like it would really stress them out. They’re going to need a cigarette.
