Do you allow smoking in your house??

No, both my hubby and I smoke but we do not smoke in the house. It is not fair on the children that they have to breathe in our smoke. Also like you I do not like the tar staining on the walls and so we go outside. Of course when it is winter we are both reluctant to go outside so the one good thing is that we dont smoke much. Actually I will let you into a secret, I am going to quit tomorrow!

What I would do if this was my husband is wait until he takes a nap and as soon as he drifts off to sleep grab a pillow and hold it over his face and when I think he's had enough pull the pillow away and as he is catching his breath tell him that's how I and the baby feel when he lights up.

Smokers and non smokers have been fighting for their rights for years. I do not allow smoking in my house. None of us smoke so if a person who visits is a smoker they can do it outside. The probelm is they still reek of smoke even after they come back in. I really dont know what to tell you about your husband. I doubt anything will change him unless he develops a lung problem. Or (God forbid) the baby gets really ill and has to be put in the hospiatl. Good luck to you!!

I also smoke i can not smoke in the house because my family

No one in my family smokes and none of my friends smoke. I don't have many people who visit so I don't usually have that problem. But if someone should come to my house who smokes, I would not allow them to smoke in my house. I think it's a nasty habit and I don't like the smell. It leaves odor on clothes and furniture and I do not want that in my house.

Smoking in the house is absolutely unacceptable. I am living in a college dormitory where one of my roommates smokes. We have to ask him out every time he attempts to smoke inside. I am very sorry that your husband refuses to smoke outside your house. If you cannot make your husband accept your advice, at least you should leave the windows open and keep your baby away from your husband when he smokes.

That is so selfish. My parents used to smoke inside around us when we were kids but we didn't know any better then. Now, no one is allowed to smoke in my house. The only smoker is my partner and he always goes outside even if he's the only one at home. It is bad enough to smoke around children but to be that thoughtless and continue to smoke around a baby with breathing problems is just unthinkable. Does he realise that he will make the problems worse? Perhaps you could try to inform him of the potential dangers of him smoking around the baby.

honestly yes. Because Im a smoker too.. But Im on my way to stopping it. By then, I would definitely restrict smoking in our house. Regarding your husband, you must tell him the negative effects of smoking not to HIMSELF, but to your child .If you need to tell him everyday, every hour, or even every minute, please do so. Until He stops!

un...I come from china,maybe my English is not good. This is a good qustion for us . Iam a teen,I am also a no-smoker . I dislike soking ,because it is bad for our health,and i cant stand it's smell.In my house ,myfather is the only one that smokes.He has always smoked in the house .But now ,i persuade him not to smoke .So now he dosen't smoke.i am so happy.I think the best way is pursude him not to smoke anymore.

My husband does not smoke in the house my daughter has allergies to it but my doctor told us even though he does not smoke in the house the smoke gets on his clothes and in his skin and he still brings it into the house anyways. It is really hard to get the smell of smoke out of ahouse the walls the carpets the curtains you would have to deep clean all of them every day.

No, I don't allow smoking in my house. If your husband smoke inside, I think you should advice he about your children's healthy. My father always smoke in my house and I always warn him but he still smoke. Sometimes I don't deign to warn him. I ignore him.

well... i dont smoke. so i prefer people not smoking inside my house. but still, there may be situations where you can not ask your guests not to smoke inside the house, as they might interpret as you being arrogant. for your information, recently, india joined in the countries where smoking in public is banned and punishable... cheers!!!

I hate someone smoking in my house. My boyfriend is a smoker too,but I always warn him to smoke outside of the house. We cannot stop someone to smoke but we can stop them to let us be the second hand smokers. Do you agree with me? Lol. I think if you don't like your husband to smoke in the house,you should warn him sternly for the sake of your baby's health.

noooooooooo! I don't smoke at all,

I hope not but I think I won't say that,actually it rarely happened .

Do you think your husband doesn't know or doesn't believe that the smoke is harming the baby (even without having breathing problems, but especially with them)? Or do you think he knows/believes but doesn't care? Would it help if it came from a doctor or one of his friends? Sometimes we are just stubborn when our spouse tries to tell us something to do. But the baby ought to come first. The baby needs no smoke in the house, period. Did your husband see what was built up on the walls?

Your husband should be a little more considerate, especially because of the baby. Why don't he smoke in the garage or in the basement? Sometime men have the IT'S MY HOUSE AND I WILL DO WHAT I WANT TO DO IN IT, mentally. He needs to come to the realization that it is not good for the baby and find another venue to smoke.

There is no smoking allowed in my home. We have a three year old in out home that has had breathing problems. Smokers smoke outside.

as me and my partner do smoke we do smoke in the house.but we always have a door or window open and if the kids have a bad chest we dont smoke indoors when the kids are downstairs

I don't someone smoking in the house. In my family, my fater doesn't smoking. It annoyed me a lot when someone smoke in the public.
