How can I help an allergy to cigarette smoke..I am snorting, headache, congested and sinus pain after exposure
Question by janie: How can I help an allergy to cigarette smoke..I am snorting, headache, congested and sinus pain after exposure
to a neighbor’s second hand smoke..please help..
I need especially some alternative health suggestions–behavioral, home remedies, herbal, nutritional and/or supplemental especially for allergies and sinus..
.
edit to queen…mites. Some of these was from her inviting me to her appartment to visit where she smoked. Also a neighbor drove me to look at my totaled car and smoked in car. But I decided to write her a note that I could not come into her apartment as I had extreme allergy to cigarette smoke. She has a habit of leaving her door open. Also there are gaps in the door where one can see the hall light through the door edges, But she had her door shuit for 5 weeks due to a broken hall heater and gap under entry door makig the hall too cold and she left her door open the day after I wrote the note for 16 hours and several times throughout the day, I strongly smelled smoke inside my apartment though I don’t smoke..this is the first time I ever smelled it and I feel this neighbor–the same one who badmouths other neighbors she was friends with and was spread false rumors that I was sleeping with my brother–is passive aggressive and not to be trusted. Both my son and I strongly
feel she left her door open deliberately in order to get bad at me for writing the note. She seems a little off mentally and she feels in some competition decorating the door and building with me..it is the strangest thing..she told me she as jealous of how good my door looked..every-time I add some holiday feature to the outer areas, she immediately goes there and alters my work adding to it like she is trying to one up me..I used to decorate the building and clean the hall as no-one else did and when she moved in she began obsessing over the hallway..putting furniture there and waxing it every week and yelling at neighbors who messed up the floor. She has appointed herself in charge and thinks I am invading her territory or something..I am certain she deliberating was standing by the door smoking and maybe even standing by my door and blowing it toward the door in order to make some kind of statement. We have a no smoking in pubic places law here and no smoking is permitted in
hall and entry way..but her smoke and all the minute allergens in it or likely sticking to the curtains, door wreathes and such. I may pursue help by using the Americans with disabilities act and the federal fair housing act and seek HUD’s position on multi-family units in order to try to get her to close her door when smoking as I might have some legal footing. Apartment management is told by experts to not have smoking areas in places where smoke wafts into halls and doorways so I may be able to do something on this –a complaint or something but she will know it was me who complained and I fear retribution as she got 2 residents kicked out in the year she has been here and makes statements like you don’t want to mess with me as I am smart..to intimidate I feel. Gosh, I wish I could move..I don’t want to cross this person…but my symptoms are getting worst lately. I was thinking of an air cleaner myself as bad timing as no money need to buy a car from a recent wreck and other
expenses (lost several bags of Christmas presents and my only winter coat/and my clothes cut off me by fireman and money tight as I am disabled and on fixed income

Hi Janie
I have the same problem as you, but I also have tearing and burning eyes when exposed to cigarette smoke.
Go to your Dr. and tell him about it and he will be able to give you a nasal steroidal med for it and it will help with the symptoms, but I don’t know of any herbal remedies for this, the only other thing is to not e around the person or persons when they are smoking.
Good luck with that and take care and Merry Christmas
