14 hour car ride with to smokers!!?!?!?

Question

i have major athsma and allergic to smoke

Answer 1

Ew. The same thing happened to me, but I'm not allergic.

Just say to them before the trip that you have major asthma and that you are allergic to cigarette smoke, then go on to say I would prefer it if you didn't smoke in the car, but we can pull over every 2 hours or whatever in a service station for you to smoke.

If they won't accept that then get a lift from someone else or don't go. Or grab their cig and chuck it out of the window every time they try and light up in the car. They should respect you, and not smoke though.

Answer 2

Here are a few options A) Ask them only to smoke when they are at rest stops, because of your athsma and allergy B) Go with someone else C) go on a plane. your not allowed to smoke. Hope this helps =]

Answer 3

That's just rude, I am a smoker and am very careful where i smoke. I won't even smoke inside anywhere, not that you can anymore, but I won't smoke in front of kids. I would never smoke in a car if somebody was allergic. Rest stops yes, but not the whole time.

Answer 4

Why do you have to go on this car ride? Are there any other options?
If you have to be in the car, explain to these people about your asthma (could be deadly) and your allergy (I am allergic to smoke too, I know what you mean!!!) and hopefully they'll be adult enough to at least not smoke in the car.
However, smoke lingering on their clothing will be enough to trigger an asthma attack and irritate your allergies.
Perhaps they can also take off their coats/sweaters while they smoke and put them back on when they're done.
Good luck.

Answer 5

Personally, I would not go.
It is hard to convince anyone who does not have a breathing problem how difficult it is to breathe when you do have asthma or allergies.


Make the connection.

If you use any of the below mentioned items it is common to have sinus, asthma and allergy problems amongst other health issues. Get rid of them and your lungs will thank you and you will breathe easier.

No Bounce or any other dryer sheets
No Febreeze
No Glade Plug-ins
No scented candles
No Perfumes
No Fragranced Products on Body, Hair or Clothing
No Smoke
No Dander
No Sprays

Answer 6

Explain your problem to them and have them pull over and get out to smoke. I dont even have a medical condition, I just don't like riding w/ smokers. I make my mom wait and get out of the car to smoke when she rides anywhere with me. If they wont do that, at least have them roll there windows down....it helps. Good luck.

Answer 7

Yeah, and no decent human would insist on the convenience of their habit if you mentioned your conditions and asked them not to while you were more or less trapped in the vehicle. Most smokers I know will gladly not smoke around people they know it makes uncomfortable.

Answer 8

I had to shield my acquaintances cat as quickly as, and if I keep in mind properly, it replace into on a million/4 of a pill of xanax each 2 days. It had intense grooming disease and in any different case might pull out all of its fur. The xanax won't knock them out, yet ought to lead them to mellow for the long automobile holiday. it will be much less stressful on them to boot as you. The no longer basic section is getting them to swallow it!

Answer 9

I suggest driving yourself unless they are willing to break at roadsides to smoke outside the car. There is no solution for this other then rest stops or an oxygen tank.

Hopefully you are driving and can set the rules for them.

Good luck!

Answer 10

thats inconsiderate. im a smoker but if i had someone along for the ride that couldnt tolerate it, i would make stops to smoke if i had to. if they dont consider that, then dont go
