I worry a lot about her, I just worry she will get really sick one day. My DH is really close to her, so it's hard for him too. My FIL does sometimes, I never know if has "quit" or not. My grandma does, and is on oxygen as well, figure that one out... Other than that just a few aunts, uncles, and cousins. For the most part though it is not people from my generation. bisous on "Do you know people who smoke?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-people-who-smoke/page/2#post-884640 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 22:25:57 +0000 bisous 884640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just an aunt and uncle left who still smoke. When I was a kid, there were around 15 smokers on my mom's side of the family, including my mom. I am so proud of the rest of them for quitting!

At DD's 1st birthday party, his uncle started smoking IN our house. It was gross...and around children? Ugh.

I am so sensitive to smoke, my eyes water when the car next to me is smoking! sarac on "Do you know people who smoke?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-people-who-smoke/page/2#post-884400 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 20:21:09 +0000 sarac 884400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No. artsyfartsy on "Do you know people who smoke?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-people-who-smoke/page/2#post-884368 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 20:08:40 +0000 artsyfartsy 884368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I used to. I quit in Jan 2012 and so glad I did. My FIL smoked his whole life, quit last year and just now started back up. We're very upset right now. My SIL smokes and smoked the whole way through her pregnancy. I wanted to smack her senseless. Her poor baby smells like an ashtray whenever he comes over. That's all I know personally. All other family that smoked switched to those vapor cigarettes. I don't know if you consider it smoking or not.

She's quit several times before. It really annoys me. She smokes in her car and gets mad that nobody wants to ride with her. It's like riding in an ashtray on wheels! I also have several FB/high school friends (most in their early 20s) that smoke and the two neighbors that we know both smoke.

My mom goes outside to do it, and only smokes a few a day. My MIL on the other hand smokes like a chimney. I told my husband that she's either going to have to smoke outside or we are staying at a hotel this Christmas.

I have asthma and I just associate the smell with the feeling of being unable to breathe. Plus is smells nasty. anonysquire on "Do you know people who smoke?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-people-who-smoke/page/2#post-883972 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 17:01:08 +0000 anonysquire 883972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Several co-workers and my husbands step mom and maybe mom? I can't remember if she quit. I actually do not mind other people smoking. The smell reminds me of vacations.

My mom and step-dad used to smoke, but quit in 2008 when my mom had her heart attack. I quit last summer when I found out I was pregnant (and I have no desire to start back). My 2 brothers and 1 sister all quit within the last year as well. Family functions are so much more pleasant now.

Most of my friends, extended family on my moms side, my sister, my DH (he's trying to quite and has cut way down), several coworkers. However, unlike a lot of you guys, my IL's don't smoke! LOL I think BIL smokes occasionally? But they live in another state so I don't know how much or even if he still does. I used to smoke as well, but quit in '07. Thankfully. My mom quit a few months before me. LuLu Mom on "Do you know people who smoke?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-people-who-smoke#post-883879 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 16:27:09 +0000 LuLu Mom 883879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm a former smoker who stupidly has had an occasional one when out with friends having drinks. It's my guilty bad disgusting habit. I know it's gross, I know it's bad, but something about an occasional one in a casual setting gets me. I can go months without one and then have one and not crave one again until I get tipsy, so this happens very rarely but still something I wish I would break for good! One of my BFF smokes like a chain, I hate it she smells like it all the time. I so does DH"s cousin (one of his best friends) I hate when he talks to E becasue it's on his breathe all the time.

I cheated the day before I found out I was pregnant...I feel SOOOO guilty about that. I was having a crazy hormonal rage & DH was like WTH is wrong with you. I had tested that AM & it was negative, opps. DH quit about the same time. I have a bunch of coworkers who still smoke but they are working on quitting. Which is nice cause they smell SO bad & now that I don't smoke & I'm pregnant its even worse...YUCK!

It's been years and I can't believe I was a slave to it! I also can't believe DH fell in love with me in spite of it :) My parents still smoke, 1 of my BFFs and my sister is a closet smoker. loveisstrange on "Do you know people who smoke?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-people-who-smoke#post-883869 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 16:23:26 +0000 loveisstrange 883869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not really anymore.

They used to leave me in restaurants as 'collateral' while they'd all go out to smoke & I was the only non smoker, it sucked. Only one cousin smokes, other than that our families don't. My dad did, only outside the house, when I was little.
