Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 Why do you care if it goes up your nose, if you want it in your lungs, surely it going up your nose is no different from using your mouth to breathe it in? I noticed one stupid mum at my kids' school, lighting up when she was about to start the drive home with kids in the car!! I think I've seen her son with an inhaler, so it is especially cruel and selfish of her. Some people definitely should not have kids. I simply won't get into a taxi if the driver has been smoking, it makes me too ill, it was a smoking taxi driver that caused me to be hospitalised overnight with my breathing when I was pregnant last Summer. The hospital was pretty hopeless as they didn't do anything much until the next day (I was sitting up all night struggling to breathe), and the doctor said there was no sign of asthma as by then my chest was clear (I had been coughing and phlegmy all night long). They like to let the doctor see you when you are not at your worst so they can fob you off I think. Had to pretty much beg my own doctor to let me try a Ventolin inhaler, and he was reluctant as I was pregnant. If I had died he would have been in trouble! I said I would be very careful only to use it in an emergency, and he let me have it. I am still not officially asthmatic as far as I know, it's hard to get them to accept it as I have always struggled with my breathing and catarrh most of my life but was never diagnosed properly. Because it got bad in pregnancy they tried to fob me off that breathlessness is normal, but I knew that this was not normal for me, after all it was my third child so I know how I was in my previous pregnancies. The trouble with doctors is they don't really listen.

No, when smoke goes up one's nose it goes straight to the brain, cloggs up the sinuses, gives a nauseous feeling and is generally unpleasant. Through the mouth it goes directly to the lungs, and is a far less painful and unpleasant and probably less damaging way of getting the nicotine into the bloodstream.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 Smoke does all those nasty things anyway, because if you are smoking, obviously some of it gets into the air and it does go up your nose and the noses of others around you, so you are still getting it into your sinuses, and you cannot avoid it. I don't think it is any less damaging whichever way you are breathing it in even if it feels different for you. The nose does not lead directly to the brain, it leads down the same way the mouth does. If I have to be near anyone smoking I tend to actively try to NOT mouth breathe because the nose has some filtering properties, that is why it gets full of nasty dirty stuff sometimes. Most of all I would be trying to get away and not breathe in smoke anyway. Second-hand smoke makes me possibly feel more ill if I mouth breathe, so it's strange that it is the opposite for the actual smoker.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 Ah yea but when you breath it in through the nose far more of it goes through the sineuses and to the brain, in far more concentrated amounts. Its also tickly and can make one sneeze, and although there are filtering properties it still cloggs it up.
