| I am still considerate if you come to my house, most of my smoking is outside, unless you come into my room. The worst time is first thing in the morning, my neighbors would not like me sitting outside in my underware smoking.......not a pretty site.

| you know my mother smoked my whole life, in the car with the windows up, at home with the windows down, outside and all, but that was how it was when i was younger and i would just walk off or start fanning the smoke and she would put it out. now when my children go to HER house she goes outside or to her bedroom to smoke, not because i asked her to but because she knows that is the right thing to do. My point is not that she ever meant to harm me in any way, she just didn't know.I do try everyday to get her to stop because i do not want to see her die the horrible way that i see smokers dying, but it is her choice and i love her either way, if or when she gets COPD and can not breathe i will take care of her, because that's just what we are supposed to do, and i still love her no matter what.

| My mother did the same thing and finally quit in her 50"s because she was afraid of cancer. She tripped over some living room crap in her 60's and ruptured her intestines, was a long suffering 6 month's before she gave it up. My twin who is a health nut recently dropped a 600 lb. safe on himself, lucky to be alive. I got my Dad to quit drinking and smoking. You could not tell when he was drinking, his personality never changed, He died in his 50's and never took any of the pills, I flushed them. I don't know, when God has a place ready for, I'm gonna go

I am so sorry for your losses, just goes to show that sometimes even when people make choices thinking they are doing the right thing, it's not up to us how or when we go. I have no problem with people's choices and would never judge them on it, my husband finally quit on his own just before our 4 year old was born, it was his choice and although i was proud of him it had to be HIS choice.

Now if I could just break a couple of more bad habits....eating, sleeping, bodily functions, SNUFF, I would be A OK. LOL Just Kidding... I smoked fro 30+ years, and I got to where I didn't enjoy it. Smokers hacking cough, smelly clothes, food tasting bad. It just wasn't worth it. Then RNpara told me that she would like for me to be around to see our kids grow up, and that made me think. so I quit smoking, but did take up smokeless tobacco. now I gotta break that habit.

Granny dipped snuff and sure enough, she died in her sleep at the age of 93. Her sister, my great aunt, smoked from the age of 18, "Old Golds" drank two beers every night before bed time and she died at 99. Great Grandfather smoked a pipe all his life, till it finally caught up with him at 99. My husband didn't smoke, was diagnosed with COPD. He was exposed to mustard gas in Korea. He was on oxygen for about 10 years before his death.
I personally think that heredity and metabolism have a great deal to do with a person having cancer or COPD. I also think that the hormones and antibiotics, etc. that are being injected into our food sources has a lot to do with it.
I am a smoker, and no, I'm not recommending that anyone take up smoking or continue to smoke if they can quit. It is a nasty, smelly habit. I don't smoke in the home or automobile of someone who does not smoke. That is just common consideration for the other person.

If we have visitors, I ask them if they mind if I smoke if we're inside. Freaks them out, but I want to be a gracious host (while the neighbors are jacking up their car and stealing the wheels).
I agree, some people are genetically predisposed to get cancer, others to get heart disease, etc. but all in all, smoking is nasty, and if the Federal Gubmint were to outlaw it, I'd not have a problem with it (until after the DTs of course).
