Up in smoke

I have never smoked and yet when I met my ex, I naively thought that love conquered all and maybe, just maybe, I'd be able to encourage him to give up. It never worked of course and so I lived with someone who refused go outside for a puff, and sat on the sofa with swirls of smoke above his head as I sulked to another room to do some work. Now my home is smoke free (many years later) and I never allow anyone who visits to light up, and it’s always funny to me in seeing the look on their faces as though I have scolded them.

An old relative died and when her house was cleaned up you could see where the smoke drifted up from her chair, up the curtains and onto the ceiling. When people started to clean the walls the room smelled like smoke salmon or smoked salmonella. It reeked, it was stomach turning.

@Pitchblue It took double coats of Kilz to entomb the layer in the house we bought from smokers. ...Then another two layers of paint. We removed carpets and put down wood over a vapor barrier.

It is a disgusting habit that the smoking companies are trying desperately to bring back. They are lighting up more than ever in movies these days trying to make it cool again.

{@pinkpanther] i suppose it is your choice it is your home and people should have courtesy to respect that and not smoke

smokers who are drinkers have had cases of being consumed by spontaneous combustion while they smoke in their chair which doesn't burn

you have to set that rule or it will take over. Smoking gets into everything but the smoker seems oblivious to it

I would 100% never date a person that smokes. They do not give it up, and it's disgusting.
