    Just curiosity:P I don't smoke, but I don't really like the idea for obvious reasons.

    Yes because it's the last place I can without being stared at like a leper.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,631 ✭✭✭✭Hank Scorpio


    The apartment I'm in I smoke in my room, or whenever the non smoker guy isn't here I can smoke wherever.

    At home I only ever smoke inside If I'm drinking and that's always in another room and usually out the window as my Dad has an irritable throat after radiation/chemo a few years ago.

    In the new year I'm going back on the e-cigs, I stopped using them purely out of laziness which is really stupid!

    Her house, her rules. If you don't like them, move out.

    True.

    Yeah let's just completely ignore the duty to your children part of the whole upbringing deal.
    Of course I don't get the final say, but it's only considerate not to harm others because of your own addiction.

    He's right though her house she can smoke where she wants. If you don't like it move out.

    I agree you should discourage her from smoking around you, however you have no right to dictate to your mother in her own house. Like I said, if you you feel that strongly about it, move out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,061 ✭✭✭keith16


    I know I am going to get absolutely lambasted for this but...I reckon smoking should also be banned in some public places like train stations or outside shops and on main streets. Nothing worse walking somewhere and unexpectedly getting a blast of smoke in your face from some one walking ahead of you.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,562 ✭✭✭✭Sunnyisland


    They asked me how I knew
    My true love was true
    Oh, I of course replied
    Something here inside cannot be denied

    They said someday you'll find
    All who love are blind
    Oh, when your heart's on fire
    You must realize
    Smoke gets in your eyes

    So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
    To think they could doubt my love
    Yet today my love has flown away
    I am without my love

    Now laughing friends deride
    Tears I can not hide
    Oh, so I smile and say
    When a lovely flame dies
    Smoke gets in your eyes
    Smoke gets in your eyes



    I just keep playing this song, doesent make any difference but its a nice song.

    I'd have though it'd be somewhere at the bottom of the list of extremely petty inconveniences, rather than a 'nothing worse' scenario.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,340 ✭✭✭Please Kill Me


    Nope, usually out the back door. Have a big bucket for the butts.

    Fair enough, there are much worse things.

    But there is nothing petty about it. No-one should have to endure second hand smoke. Or do you think governments the world over were being just "petty" when they moved to ban smoking in public places?

    Nah, I'll just let you be condescending as much as you like, maybe it helps you to feel bigger, there's clearly no discussion here so there's no point in me replying any more.

    Imposing any sort of a health risk on your children is just bad parenting if you ask me. To "just move out then" isn't always a viable option for young people, I'll leave it to you geniuses to figure out why that is. So to ask my smoking parents to be a little more considerate and smoke in their private quarters is not too much to ask.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    If i'm drunk. Otherwise i smoke out the back.

    Beggars can't be choosers. If you can't move out then stop complaining.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,076 ✭✭✭✭Czarcasm


    My home is about the only place I have any comfort smoking, in fact it's the only place I have any comfort doing anything these days! :(

    Yes I smoke in my home sitting or standing at patio kitchen door during day and inside at night when kids go to bed.

    It wouldn't surprise me if they were using smoking as a ploy to get you to finally move out of their private quarters.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 393 ✭✭squirrelohara


    I smoke but not in my house. I used to smoke in my old house. After being away all day its pretty sick walking into your stale fag smelling house. When friends walk in you can tell by their face that they find the smell disgusting. My house now smells lovely. I also smoke less because its more effort to go outside.

    There's a difference between asking your parents to be a little more considerate and telling your own mother to f*ck into the bedroom to smoke in her own house.

    Yeah, that's the plan.
    You're smart.

    When somebody else starts paying my mortgage I will follow their rules as to where they want me to smoke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,076 ✭✭✭Eathrin


    It's not my friend whose house I'm staying out.
    It's my parents' house, until I'm finished my education.
    There's a big difference and you're just choosing to overlook that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 346 ✭✭petersburg2002


    My old man always steps outside to smoke during the week. But whenever he has a few drinks he seems to get amnesia and would smoke in the house no matter who was there. He also smokes in the car. I've given up at this stage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,257 ✭✭✭Love2love


    When I smoked I used to have one in the bath.... The only time I would smoke inside the house.

    Since I gave them up (nearly off them a year!) I have noticed that my daughter hasn't been sick once. She was on a brown & blue inhaler and I haven't had to give her them since I stopped. I never would have thought that smoke being on my clothes / hair would impact my childs health and it did. Now, none of my friends / family smoke in their homes..... Well that's what they tell me :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,273 ✭✭✭twowheelsonly


    Used to but stopped smoking in the house last year when the Mrs went off them (for a while....:) )
    We both still smoke in our cars but never in the house. It's made a big difference to the smell in the house obviously but also to the amount that we smoke.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,639 ✭✭✭Miss Lockhart


    I think anyone who would intentionally expose anyone, particularly someone they love, to cigarette smoke is selfish. When that someone is an underage child in their care then I think they are a dispicable, disgusting excuse for a parent. I really don't get how easily parents who smoke around children are let off the hook.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,458 ✭✭✭senorwipesalot


    Stopped smoking in the house when the kids arrived on the scene.But if its pissing rain Ill smoke into the cooker extractor
