Joe is out of line. He may not like it, but he ought to get used to smoking outside….or buy a house of his own, where he can smoke in solitary comfort (the operative word being “solitary”).

For my part, if I am dealing with smokers at their house, I keep my mouth shut. If somebody lights up in my home or my car, they get asked nicely to put it out or take it outside. I’m reasonable about it, but I am NOT going to have that smoke smell in my own place.

I’m a smoker (smoker-lite, these days). H is a heavy smoker. We have a condo. We both smoke outside.

When we come back in, we close the door quickly. I hate the smell. I get it off me asap. H reeks of smoke – his jacket, his sweater, pants, everything. I can’t kiss him like that. Our diet is fairly low fat, and we’re moderately active. Smoking is the most unhealthy thing we do.

I’m a smoker who hates smoke. The smell nauseates me. It tightens and scratches my throat. I refuse to have the trace of it in the house.

Love can’t choose smokers or non-smokers. But love should compromise on the dos and don’ts of smoking. And compromise does not include modifying physical revulsion – it’s physically impossible. Whomsoever enjoys smoking that much should create an outside (or garage) area that’s comfortable enough for smoking. Including me.

Sorry I didn’t see your comment back to me till Vix sent it to me a few minutes ago.

I’m studying Gracie Jiu Jitsu at Infinite Mixed Martial Arts in Loveland.

Now since I don’t smoke anymore I would have to say that it would probably be best that he smoke outside.

However, she knew ahead of time that he smoked and that this may very well be an issue and didn’t have a problem with him smoking inside before whether or not it was a house.

So….

I always love when ex smokers make comments like that, since they never really regain their sense of smell that they blew away from their years of smoking.

There is no exergation to the dangers of second hand smoke. The only reason it hasn’t been completely banned is because of money, and the amount the tobacco industry shoves up the ass of greedy politicians.

For the record, I’m NOT obese! Most days the scale says about 105. I have exercised pretty much every day since the 70’s. Ok, well there were years in there where I was in diapers, so I think get a pass on those years. I run 6 miles a day, and only consume my pot in the form of brownies and cookies! *snort*

I’m sorry, but that argument wouldn’t make sense even if I was stoned!

I wouldn’t smoke in the house, and rarely smoked around friends and family if invited over. I don’t know if it was me personally, but since I never liked having smoke clouds around me, I figured that they wouldn’t really appreciate it, either.

Now I’ve heard that they’ve got a new invention for smokers. It’s a tobacco-less pipe. It still gives the taste and flavor of smoking, but NO smoke side-effects. In fact, you get smoke, but as water vapor rings, and not actual carcinogen laden haze.

I don’t know if it’s really a viable product, but heck, it sounds kind of nifty.

Thanks for the post Vixen!
