My roommates smoke...?!
Question: My roommates smoke....?
and i don't. i've noticed that whenever they smoke in the house i get headaches, and my ears hurt. is this a sign of being allergic.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
This is simply an evidence of a proven fact: smoking is a health a Hazard. A New England Journal of Medicine study showed that young children who live in a household with at least one person who smokes had twice as many ear infections as those who didn't. Even if that person went outside to smoke. This is only one study you can find thousands.
The bottom line here is find new roommates. They won't stop for you. You have fend for yourself. Tell them you consider this an invasion of your health and privacy in no uncertain terms and that if it continues you are leaving. It is a violation of normal lease agreements unless you knew about it ahead of time. Find yourself some non-smoking roommates that feel as strongly about it as you do. If the lease is in your name find suitable replacements. If you are in a dorm room most universities have provisions to allow you to move.Health Question & Answer

You could be allergic or it could be a reaction to the chemicals, fumes, and odors that cigarettes give off when being smoked.
If I were you, I'd ask the room mates to smoke outside for about a week and see if that helps, and if so, try getting some allergy medication if they don't want to smoke outside and take it once daily.Health Question & Answer

No, it's a sign of your body getting poisoned. I can't stand smoke, smog or exhaust and I don't enjoy sleeping in it. Closing off your living space is all I can recommend and don't use air fresheners, you'd just be adding to the toxicity of the air. I'm afraid airing the place out is your best bet. For a comfortable sleep try a brand new comforter

When i smoked, my wife did the had the same problems and she didn't smoke. Its not that your allergic, your body just cant handle all of that smoke, plus all the bad things in the smoke. Im sorry to tell you this but you might want to consider moving out or kicking them out. Its very bad for your health, trust me!Health Question & Answer
Well, It might but more importantly it obviously makes you feel uncomfortable. Look if you split the rent, you should get equal treatment and respect. Let them know how you feel, and explain the situation and most likely they'll understand. But get up and do it, tell them. Don't wait for tomorrow!Health Question & Answer
smoke what.?
EDIT:
i never heard of anyone being allergic to weed but it makes some people nocuous (sp.?).
i would just go to a different room when they smoke or make them smoke outside. talk to them about it. don't be rude when you bring it up because they will just get offensive, but let them know how it makes you feel.Health Question & Answer

Yeah, probably.
Don't let them smoke indoors. Second hand smoke is almost as bad for you as smoking itself. It's all the same carcinogenic material, just in lower concentration.
Either that, or move out.Health Question & Answer
