Does weed chain smoking affect children?

Growing up both parents used to smoke cigarettes and weed. Up until about 9 when I started moaning about headaches my parents smoked around me. It took a lot of coaxing. My parents claim they were kind enough to not smoke around me as a young baby. But we lived in a one bedroom flat. Mum would shut the living room door once I went to bed but it wafted around the place especially as they left to go to the bathroom or the fridge (don't ask) that was in the hallway...

Oh and when they drove to places they'd smoke with me in the car... so no escaping it.

There have been no serious studies done on the subject aside from some tests with rats that are [i]highly[/i] suspect. Seems unlikely that weed would be more to blame than cigarettes simply because of the chemistry of tobacco smoke, nicotine is a chemical binding agent. It binds things together, like the chemicals in smoke to your lungs. Hence the reason nicotine products are cancer-causing regardless of what form they're in. Cannabis has no such effects, there are tar levels to be concerned about as with any smoke exposure but nothing that would be causing mass cellular damage.

@Lonesomewolf2018 Wooo, brutal realities. For real though, soak a cup of tobacco in a half gallon of water and it makes a cheap and pretty damn effective insecticide. Just don't get it on your skin unless you like skin cancer.

Yeah I would think so since that stuff clings to walls and everything else

@Mondayschild my parents didn't give a crap. It was always about their preferences of my level of comfort. I was either exaggerating or being a hypochondriac
