Hey everyone! I have 2 questions:
First, I have researched the use and effects of kerosene heaters, but I feel like I need more information. I am 22 and living back with my parents till the fall. My family does not have very much money and my dad is using a kerosene heater to heat up the house. The rest of the family and myself feel like it smells very badly, and personally I feel like it is hurting my lungs with every breath. Can anyone tell me any more information they may have with the information I just gave.
Second, My dad is a smoker and though he smokes outside, (well, RIGHT outside the garage door so that when we walk out there we have to take it all in) he wreaks of smoke ALL THE TIME and it makes me very angry with him. I have lost a lot of respect for him and I'm very hurt. We have a poor relationship because it makes me feel so sad. How could a father knowingly decrease his daughters (2 w/cf and 1 a carrier of the gene) years of life. Does anyone else have this happening to them?
