Husband smoking?: If your husband is smoking around your baby, this is a concern. I don't believe the odor alone is injurious, but i'd like to hear what my colleagues say. The bottom line here is that if your husband is smoking, get him to quit. A premature death due to a preventable cause is the biggest negative impact that smoking has on kids. I know from personal experience. Lgromkomd.

Smelling cigarettes all the time, none around! #nqlu I am freaking out because i'm having "phantom" smells... Mainly cigarettes. I keep smelling them, but no one smokes here. I kept thinking my husband snuck one, but he has not, and he isn't lying to me

In my second trimester I was around certain smells or road work I would hold my breath. The longest I held it was for a minute. Could that have cause harm to my baby and maybe cause brain damage to her? Sometimes I held it multiple times for 40 sec?
