unless your company is willing to get you a full-head respiratory system there is really no simple mask system. i am absolutely appalled that you have to inhale secondary smoke at your place of employment. no one should be smoking around you. period! if they cannot provide you with a smoke-free environment while you are pregnant then they should be required to pay your full salary for you to stay home. i think it is time for you to call the labor board and complain. do you work in the united states?
can i wear some type of mask to prevent me from inhaling second-hand smoke while i am pregnant? . i am 5 mos. pregnant and work at an office with smokers. one smokes cigarettes or e-cigarettes but outside so i rarely smell her smoke. the other smokes a pipe inside the office. both assure me that the tobacco products they use have no chemical additives and are all natural. am i still at risk from their smoke? if so will wearing a dust mask or other filter prevent me from inhaling the smoke? it is not an option for them to not smoke around me and i cannot work from a remote location.
