I personally think that it isn't too far to make it a chargeable offense if you're smoking around children. My entire life, I've lived in non-smoking environments. My mom hated it, and when I went to university, they had just outlawed smoking in public buildings (this was a couple of years ago in Nova Scotia). Living here, I'm stuck with neighbours that smoke like chimneys, and I find that I'm getting sick more often, and it's usually worse than what I'm used to. The way I see it, if I'm being affected this much, and I'm 25, how much worse could it be for a 4 or 5 year old?
Because there are no laws prohibiting people from exposing others to this dangerous and nasty habit, I'm stuck suffering just because I can't afford to move.
Personally, I wish smoking was outlawed entirely, however, I know that won't solve the problem.
DO not pop water blisters!!!! They can get infected and gross. The best thing you can do is carefully wash your face with cool water (no soap cause it makes it worse), and if you can, get some diaper rash cream from the drugstore. Put it on before you go to bed and that will stop them from getting more irritated while you're sleeping. Also, ice helps, but don't use it for too long (more than 15 minutes) and don't use it if it hurts too much.
But please don't pop them, no matter how gross they are. I once had a friend end up in the hospital cause they got so infected cause she kept picking at them.
Hope this helps, and I hope you feel better soon :)
