This is a 5 star post. But it's more disturbing than anything. I would be worried about my health and the health of my family/friends if they are around me if I smoked than some tarantula. I thank God I quit before I really got addicted!
The typical irreverent ramblings of a smoker. I heard the same BS from my cigarette smoking Dad until he had quadruple by-pass surgery at the age of 50.
You get 5 stars with your respond. But let us all, including me, stop with this before the ones who indulge in nicotine products get upset and accuse us all of "judging" them or telling them how to live their lives. I am going back to the origins of the question...I think that since it is used in pesticides...it would have some type of effect on them.
I never claimed that I dont notice the effects on me as I DO see the smoking effects with me as everyone who smokes...But as far as my T.s go I have never had a death or illness due to smoking in the house
pretty soon the illegal stuff will be cheaper than cigarettes.. I need to quit soon for real, not sure about marry though :? im married to her for life but lets not go there
Negative evidence is not an indication that there are no effects, much less an indication that the particulates in the air that you're creating don't have longer term consequences.
no negitive evidence??.......NO EVIDENCE at all...Untill there is hard evidence about smoking around you T.s I have every right to express my belife and experiance that It dosnt even effect them
Im not doing it to spite this..They are in my living room..I could smoke out side but in the winter it is too cold...So yes we smoke inside...All I was saying was in my experiance I ahve not have any issues wiht my T.s and smoking in the same room as them
I was trying to reminsce of that ol' Rock & Roll tune...Smoking in the Boys' Room? If you smoke or not...it's your business. I work in a hospital and experience up close the effects of nicotine. The patients blame God on down to their jobs. When I tell people don't smoke around me or near me OR my son I get the "A Little (Cigarette) Smoke will not hurt you or him" speech. I have had respitory problems since 1999. The main factor is due to chemical exposure during Desert Storm BUT my allergist and ear, nose, and throat doctor feel also exposure to second hand smoke played a factor. I am not here to tell you what to do or not to do......I just think it is odd that anyone and I mean ANYONE who is more concern over the health of their pets or condition of their home and/or car. Yes I have had friends that will not smoke in their cars or houses because they are concern with the yellow build up in case they want to resale their car or home. What about the build up in your lungs I ask?
My brother in law had a 4 way bypass at 48. He walked a mile a day, Watched his diet and was very health y. He thought. My grandmother who ate beef fat to grease her joints and was overweight all her life and refused to let a doctor near her lived to 100 and died of natural causes. Also all the people on my mothers side that have had cancer were non- smokers. The ones that do smoke are healthy.
Very good point. We all smoke outside no matter how cold it gets. I will stand out there in a coat, ablanket wraped around me and freeze to have that smoke. It is pathetic. I even wear a jacket that I dont wear elsewhere cause it stinks so bad. And I dont want to offend but anyone that smokes around their kids or in the car with them should be charged.
This isn't a topic about absolutes. Speaking of activities like smoking, eating high fat content foods, and lethargy within a population is to speak of the statistical risks involved with those activities. If you engage in smoking, the longer you do it the higher your risks for a whole host of complications. It's irrelevant that not everyone who smokes suffers no consequences. That would be like saying it's ok to play Russian roulette because the guy next door survived.
Keep in mind that the book lungs of spiders function very differently from mammalian lungs. We actively intake gases and particulates by way of creating negative pressure. Book lungs are simply folds through which there is passive gas exchange.
