I know exactly how you feel, I was in a very similar situation. I remember that I was so nervous at that time and I took it out on everyone around me. I didnt know what could I do until, thanks god, I found Smoke Deter. Now I can look back and laugh on myself and in the same time I remember how helpless I was. I hope that I'll never be in the same situation again

    the mask is not for your protection as much as it is for his…. if he has been taking chemo or any treatment that may affect his immune system he is highly susceptible to infections and with a weak immune system it could endanger his life…

    Smoking for many years can cause Empysema, but this would not be causing everyone to wear a mask. It sounds like something along the lines of Tuberculosis or Asbestosis.

    they are getting you to wear a mask to reduce any contaminents in the air from your breathing. When you exhale the air may contain bacteria from your lungs or mouth and little drops of saliva.
