Effects of cigarette smoke in the sleeping room
- Question
- Hello,
my partner is smoking in the sleeping room. When I am there (I suffer from CF), he smokes out of the window. We are not living together yet.
However I have the impression, to cough more there during the night compared to my home. Besides the reduced sleeping comfort, can this have negative longterm effects on my lung function? - Answer
- Hello,
the residues of cigarette smoke in the appartment, for example in the clothes and the furniture, as well as the cigarette smoke, that reaches the appartment via the open window, can be harmless for the health.
Best regards,
