Is smoking outside while child is outside bad for his health?

i know smoking is bad, i try very hard to kick the habit. it doesn't matter the reason why i smoke because no reason would be a good one. The sad fact is that i am a victim of nicotine. It has gotten to the point where i will smoke outside while my child is out. He is 10 months old and has recently contracted bronchitis. i feel somewhat at fault after i have read so many articles saying smoking around infant raises the risk of bronchitis. however in my defense, i am never within 15 feet of him, i smoke only outside, and i am sure to be downwind of him and i always wash my hands and sanitize before interactions. I know being a parent i am already breaking a rule, not to put your child at harm. still i feel as though i was doing the right thing while being a bad parent. Am i a bad parent?Is smoking outside while child is outside bad for his health?Well, some people would smoke in the same room as their baby without thinking twice about it so kudos to you for actually thinking of your son first. You aren't a bad parent if you're taking all the proper precautions like the ones you listed above. As long as you don't smoke around him your okay I think. Sometimes kids just get sick and it happens without it being anybodies fault. Don't worry. :)Is smoking outside while child is outside bad for his health?No your not a bad parent, i would hardly put you in the category with people who abuse and neglect their children. You do not want to harm your son, and standing 15ft away from, i do not think the smoke wil harm him if your that far away. My mom has smoked since i was very little, sometimes, especially as he gets older, it is hard to smoke away from your children. I always followed my mom outside and my mom, also like you tried to stand very far away from me well smoking. Yes smoking is bad, but it DOES NOT make you a bad parent. My mom is the BEST mother i could ever ask for, she does so much for me, i love her will all my heart. People who dont smoke do not know how hard it is to quit, there fore they find it easy to judge you. Thousands of parents smoke, does that make every single one of them bad parents? no And you are trying to quit, so good for you that makes you a good parent. One thing such as smoking doesnt make you a bad parent, you love your son and try to do what best makes you a good parent.Is smoking outside while child is outside bad for his health?no youre not a bad parent, but you will be if you keep smoking

if you keep smoking around your kid he'll get second hand smoke and die do you really want that?Is smoking outside while child is outside bad for his health?
I started smoking five years ago and for the past 3 have been smoking a pack a day. If anyone knows how hard it is to quit smoking and about being a victim of nicotine it is me. But I would never, ever, ever smoke around my younger siblings, especially my brother who is 6 years old. In fact I recently started to quit for him. You say your child is 10 months old and has bronchitis and you only feel somewhat at fault when you are making him sit outside with you while you smoke? To answer your question honestly- YES you are a bad parent. If you cared you would quit or at least do it so that they never have to even know that you smoke. You are not only subjecting them to second hand smoke and other sicknesses, but you are setting a bad example. Shame on you.
