I used to paint a bit and have tried to start painting again. I am aware that there are fumes involved to a certain extent. It has me wondering if this hobby can be harmful to my breathing. besides the oil paint itself, there are other products involved including odorless thinner that got me to thinking. So now I am wondering if this something that I need to give up or is it relatively safe. I do not set the people from pulmonary again until October so I thought I would ask here and see if anyone here might know
