She should smoke with the door closed. But the exposure is probably still not very large if you ventilate afterwards.

Second hand smoke is still linked to cancer so not sure about that one. It’s a big deal in most countries from the info I’ve seen…

Honestly. As a teenager I wished I couldnt’ access cigarettes. It was a half life time addiction to chemicals that do nothing but kill you slowly. A big percentage of people have more nictotinic receptors and are more susceptible to it. It’s a nasty chemical and although it’s taxed to heck out here people still smoke…it’s like $30 a pack of 20’s tailor mades these days over here…

It’s about the level of exposure. Most second-hand smoke is with very small exposure, such as when someone smokes next to you outside. It’s almost completely negligible. Especially compared to the air pollution that you likely breathe in all day, or fireplaces, which give you a large exposure to carcinogens. But the exposure becomes much bigger if we’re talking indoor smoking, or smoking in cars or in bars and restaurants. That almost doesn’t happen in my country anymore. It is very rare to see someone smoking while in a car or smoking while indoors. And smoking in bars and restaurants is illegal.

Banning fireplaces and non-electric cars probably makes much more sense as a public health effort than banning outdoor smoking. We could also ban grilled meat if we’re serious about removing carcinogens.

Surely smokers are just gonna light up more to satisfy there cravings?

Dont know how they gonna do it - unless theres some way of growing a strain that contains less?

The health effects of second-hand smoke are generally negligible.

I’m pretty sure that isnt true.

If its someone you live with, they need to smoke somewhere where you aren’t breathing it in constantly. Because otherwise you are effectively smoking with them everytime they have a cig.

That’s exactly what I just said. Those numbers seem to be for people experiencing second-hand smoking at home. Which is what I just said in that post you quoted is high exposure and not negligible. Please read the entire post.

@Sleystic , I take a form of THC called Delta 8 THC which is found in hemp. It is perfectly legal in the United States and is found easily online.

I took 25 mg of it last night and passed out in my bed right away. I had a great night’s rest and slept from 9 pm to 7 am and that’s not usual with me. Usually, I’m up all night, sleep all day.
