my smoker husband .?

[mahnaz]

My husband smokes in garage. But somehow it goes into all rooms . It wakes me up with heavy headache .If I'm sleeping and I smell it in my sleep. I'm not a smoker .We have two kids . I am afraid it goes to their room as well. Is there anything I can do to keep the smoke from traveling through the the house ? how it is possible anyway ?
My husband tells me that it is impossible. He smokes in garage, how come I can smell that in bedroom too far from garage . I do not know how to prove it that is possible. He argued with me that I made it up. Any answer for him?
And also he does not believes in second hand smoke .
How can I tell explain to him that smoke not good for our kids ? He is an educated person .But I am wondering why he does not understand this important issue . Before our marriage he told me that he is not a heavy smoker . But I think he is . When I go to garage to get something the smoke is like a fug in their .

he should just smoke out side. if its winter and its to cold then he doesn't need one. he should respect you and your children.

The smoke most likely passes through the ventilation system of your home. The garage is simply a separate room in your home. Also, I bet you can really smell the smoke on your husband after he has a cigarette, because non-smokers can smell it right away. I used to be a smoker and now I realize how strong the smoke smell can get. It's definitely not healthy.

I use to smoke for 15 years, quit 4 years ago. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE HIM QUIT He will quit when he is ready, if ever.

I never smoked indoors. Even though I smoked, I hated the smell of the smoke and the residue that the smoke leaves. Put a fan near the entry point of garage to the house. So the smoke in the garage doesn't get sucked in the house when the door opens.

[Retired R.N.]

You have a door from the house to the garage, there are cracks and other small
areas where the smoke can permeate into the house. If the garage is also attached to the attic and heats the garage any at all, then the smoke is being sucked up and transferred into the house in the air vents. He needs to go completely out of the house and garage in order for it to not come in. I would imagine that he isn't going to listen to anything you say anyhow.

------------- The Largest study on Second Hand Smoke ever done by Enstrom
http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/326/7398/1057
“No significant associations were found for current or former exposure to environmental tobacco smoke before or after adjusting for seven confounders and before or after excluding participants with pre-existing disease. No significant associations were found during the shorter follow up periods of 1960-5, 1966-72, 1973-85, and 1973-98.”

“Enstrom has defended the accuracy of his study against what he terms ‘illegitimate criticism by those who have attempted to suppress and discredit it.’". (Wikipedia)

------ Court rules that environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is NOT a Class A carcinogen
http://www.tobacco.org/Documents/980717osteen.html
“There is evidence in the record supporting the accusation that EPA ‘cherry picked’ its data” … “EPA's excluding nearly half of the available studies directly conflicts with EPA's purported purpose for analyzing the epidemiological studies and conflicts with EPA's Risk Assessment Guidelines” (p. 72)

-------- OSHA will NOT regulate something that’s NOT hazardous
http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp....p_id=24602
“Air contaminants, limits employee exposure to several of the main chemical components found in tobacco smoke. In normal situations, exposures would not exceed these permissible exposure limits (PELs), and, as a matter of prosecutorial discretion, OSHA will not apply the General Duty Clause to ETS.”

Study about health & Smoking Bans – The National Bureau of Economic Research
http://www.nber.org/papers/w14790
“Workplace bans are not associated with statistically significant short-term declines in mortality or hospital admissions for myocardial infarction or other diseases.”

-------- Secondhand smoke is as safe as dust
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles...10-285.pdf
“Among never smokers in our population, we observed no association between either exposure to ETS at home or at the workplace and lung cancer risk”(p. 5)
“Our results support the concept that exposure to exhaust fumes and or soot/smoke (***from non-tobacco
sources***) is a source of carcinogenic exposure.” (p. 7)
“ETS exposure was not found to significantly increase risk among never smokers in this study”(p.7)

-------- PURPOSELY misleading the public with MEDIA STRATEGIES -------
The Interagency Committee on Smoking and Health was enacted by Congress in 1984 which is a collection of Health and Human Services, American Heart and Lung Association, National Cancer Institute, World Health Organization, CDC and many other government funded health organizations. (eliminating any independent sources of information).

Below are direct quotes from those meeting notes:
“Social (Un)acceptability of smoking will be decisive TOOL an the road to a smoke-free society.” Using “four mechanisms: - passive smoking, - social cost, - ELIMINATE ALL INFLUENCES in society which could reflect favorably on smoking, - educational campaigns for children (App.II) “

“although passive smokers may suffer considerable subjective discomfort, a lasting adverse health effect is probably not likely to result in otherwise healthy, grown-up individuals . “

““Lindahl concluded that it is difficult to demonstrate harmful effects of passive smoking on healthy nonsmokers ; there is little proven in this area”

“He admitted that he couldn't explain how or why smoking harmed the fetus but suggested that, instead of worrying about such fine points, women be told that all unborn children of smoking women will be hurt “

“We're moving out of the horse and cart era, we're not yet in the jet age of MEDIA STRATEGIES, but we're getting there “
