Smoky Casino Pregnant
- Is there a 'safe' limit of smoking in pregnancy?
- Lodge is amazing. Casino is a casino. The Lodge was a beautiful and luxurious place to stay. It was romantic and well appointed. Great linens and very well done room. Great spa in the hotel and breakfast was very good at the restaurant. Casino is next door and ok. Steak house on 21st floor of casino hotel is quite nice. Service at steakhouse.
Aug 13, 2020 It’s very common for vaginas to produce a tangy or sour aroma. Some compare it to the smell of fermented foods. In fact, yogurt, sourdough bread, and even some sour beer contain the same type of.
I hope I can get some help or suggestion for this.
I'm hosting two very close friends from the UK in October. They've booked tickets 6 months ago to fly to Vegas and spend 2 nights 3 days with myself in Vegas and then go to San Fran for a few days before heading back. A couple of days ago, they announced that they were pregnant. My assumption said 'there goes their Vegas trip,' but my friends were not fazed by it at all. They've been to Vegas before, and they think the 'big strip' casinos are fine with their air circulating system. I showed a bit of concern, but they don't think it's a big deal as long as they stay and gamble in the non-smoking section.
Now, my libertarian in me says don't get involved and let them do whatever they want. However, I don't think I will have as much fun keep thinking about my pregnant friend spending 3-4 hours on the casino floor each night. FYI my friends play 50% slots and 50% table games. And WHAT IF, something goes wrong with their pregnancy, I may feel forever guilty for being part of the reason.
Cancelling their Vegas trip is out of the question at this point. At least she's going to abstain from drinking , but I personally think it's a bad idea to be exposed to that much smoke for 3 days.
My current reservation is at Planet Hollywood, and I found that place to be really smoky. Since my friends won't budge doing something else, I may have to do my own part by changing hotels to a less smokier place. I know the Wizard did his independent testing of air quality about 10 years ago. Did he have a follow-up on this or announced publicly/privately which casino was the best. Does anybody have any good suggestions on a hotel or casino that seems to be less smokier (I've been told Palazzo and Venetian and Aria). I've also got suggestions from other friends that if gambling is a must for my friends, the advice is to do it in the AM where there is less traffic and less smokers. Is there such a thing as a non-smoking casino in vegas or at least a huge space dedicated for non-smokers? Any suggestions or advice would help. Thanks.
Does she have a history of drinking while pregnant? She is an adult, and you are not going to change her behavior, and you are certainly not responsible for anything that does or does not happen.

It sounds like you are more worried about her than she is.
There are many casinos that have nonsmoking sections, but it sounds like your friend is not going to be interested in playing it safe.

There are also some smoke free hotels (Planet Hollywood is not one of them).I am not trying to sound boorish, but based on your description of her, I doubt she will be interested in reading air quality charts...
'Now, my libertarian in me says don't get involved and let them do whatever they want.'
That is the best advice, you are not going to change their behavior, and you could jeopardize your friendship by trying to micromanage their trip and acting like you care more about her pregnancy than she does. Just let them have fun, have fun with them, you are not responsible for their health.
What is secondhand smoke?
Secondhand smoke is smoke you don’t mean to breathe in. Exposure to secondhand smoke comes from side stream or mainstream smoke. Burning tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars or pipes, releases side stream smoke. A person actively smoking nearby exhales mainstream smoke. Both sources release harmful chemicals into the air that affect nonsmokers.
What makes secondhand smoke dangerous?
All smoke from burning nicotine products contains harmful chemicals (toxins). Even nonsmokers inhaling other people’s smoke breathe in these toxins. Side stream smoke from the end of a cigarette, cigar or pipe is unfiltered. It has more harmful toxins than mainstream smoke that someone breathes out.
How does secondhand smoke affect nonsmokers?
Secondhand smoke damages the body in many different ways. Adults exposed to secondhand smoke may experience:
- Cardiovascular (heart, veins and arteries) disease like high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, heart attack or stroke.
- Lung problems like chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) and asthma.
- Increased risks of lung cancer and cancers in the brain, bladder, stomach, breast and more.
- Children exposed to secondhand smoke are more likely to experience:
- Frequent coughing, sneezing, shortness of breath or other breathing problems.
- Frequent ear infections.
- Frequent and more severe asthma attacks.
- Respiratory infections, such as bronchitis or pneumonia.
- Damage to eyes (like cataracts) and teeth (like tooth decay).
- Learning and behavior problems.
- SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).
When does secondhand smoke damage start?
Studies have shown that damage from secondhand smoke occurs in as little as five minutes:
- After five minutes: Arteries becomes less flexible, just like they do in a person who is smoking a cigarette.
- After 20-30 minutes: Blood starts clotting, and fat deposits in blood vessels increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
- After two hours: An irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) can develop and trigger a heart attack or other serious cardiac problems.
Who is at greater risk of damage from secondhand smoke?
Secondhand smoke affects anyone near burned or exhaled tobacco, but some groups have more smoke exposure:
- Service industry workers, such as restaurant servers and bartenders: Anyone who works near groups of smokers may be unable to avoid secondhand smoke.
- Pregnant women: Secondhand smoke affects unborn children and their mothers. Lower amounts of oxygen available for the baby can increase fetal heart rates or lower the birth weight. Women may experience miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery or ectopic pregnancy.
- Infants, children and pets: Young children and animals can’t always choose to leave a smoke-filled room. The constant exposure increases the harmful effects of secondhand smoke.
How is secondhand smoke exposure diagnosed?
Most people who inhale secondhand smoke are not tested for exposure. If you regularly breathe in someone else’s smoke, your doctor may test your saliva (spit), urine or blood for amounts of inhaled nicotine.
Your healthcare provider also may test your lung (pulmonary) function to measure damage. Pulmonary function tests can identify conditions related to secondhand smoke dangers, like asthma.
Can inhalation of secondhand smoke be treated?
There is no treatment for breathing in secondhand smoke. But there are ways to manage your exposure and treat conditions related to secondhand smoke inhalation.
If you are regularly near secondhand smoke, you can reduce the danger by:
- Moving away from the smoker and finding a smoke-free place.
- Making sure guests to your home know they cannot smoke inside.
- Not letting passengers smoke in your car — even with the window down.
Your healthcare provider may treat specific symptoms or diseases caused by secondhand smoke exposure. For example, you may need medications to manage high blood pressure or inhalers to treat asthma or COPD.
Can I prevent secondhand smoke exposure?
The best way to avoid exposure is to stay away from areas where people smoke. This means avoiding restaurants and bars where smoking is still permitted.
Open windows and air filters don’t remove all secondhand smoke. But they may help a little by lowering some of the toxins found in burning tobacco. It’s okay to ask people not to smoke in your car or in your home.
What is the outlook for people exposed to secondhand smoke?
Regular exposure to secondhand smoke can damage your heart and lungs. The best way to stay healthy is to avoid secondhand smoke. Many cities and several states now ban smoking in public places. These bans lower but don’t remove your risk for secondhand smoke exposure.
When should I see a healthcare provider?
You may want to visit your provider if you inhale secondhand smoke regularly. You can ask about secondhand smoke dangers and ways to stay healthy. If you develop heart disease or trouble breathing because of constant secondhand smoke exposure, talk to your provider about management options.
What if someone in my family smokes?
Often, secondhand smoke exposure happens because someone in the family or a close friend smokes tobacco products. If this is the case, suggest they quit smoking for their health and yours.
A note from Cleveland Clinic
If you smoke, remember that your burning tobacco affects others around you. You could be making family members sick. If you are not ready to quit, find ways to reduce their exposure to secondhand smoke, such as smoking only outside.
