what is it like in your family do you have smokers and non-smokers?

I hate smoking. I really hate that people who smoke are not considerate of people who do not. I used to drag on a ciggarette when I was young not realizing you had to actually breathe in the smoke which is probably what saved me from becoming a real smoker. The reason I even tried it in the first place was because of family members smoking. When I was really little my cousin gave me a ciggarette and I thought it was awful, but that did not stop me from trying again when I was older.

That's why I stopped going to bars. But then they passed a law prohibiting smoking in public places so it wasn't that bad. Could still smell the smoke residue in some of those places that were frequented by heavy smokers at first but they eventually aired out. I don't go to bars now because I can't afford to.

Hi, timhinyy. We have many people in our family that smokes. I can think of about 10 people that smoke in my family. We also have non smokers too, and I am one of them that is included in this batch.

My family are non-smokers ever since I was younger. Never went through the phase of having to go elsewhere due to smoke and I am thankful for that. But now that I am with my in-laws, they are the opposite. Back then they all were smokers but after a few years only two of them smoke and it is still bad for my son and my hubby who gets sick more than I am.

Well, we only have one smoker in the family - my husband. Since he cannot give up smoking yet then the deal is to lessen. No smoking inside the house. He needs to go out that the kids won't smell/inhale the smoke.

In my family, my wife used to smoke before we got married. when we started getting serious, she stopped. I did not have to ask her to stop since she knew I do not smoke. I used to smoke when I was in High school and college though. But I was able to stop it after college. A test of will power.

yes, we do have smokers and non-smokers member in my family as well... my father and my younger brother are the smokers while my mum, my elder brother and me myself couldn't stand the smell of the smoke at all... so we always try to stay away from them as much as we can when they just finish smoking... my mum used to nag my dad a lot to give up smoking... but it is just too hard for him... fortunately, my younger brother had given up smoking now... take care and have a nice day...

Our family has been totally smoke free for years already. I have never started smoking, neither my sister. My parents quit smoking for many years ago, because they realized it's bad for their health and also affects in a negative way the children in family.

In my family only my mother smokes, she smokes out in the garden or at the garden door. It doesn't really bother me or anyone else in the house, except from my little sister who wants her to quit smoking. I think I'm just used to seeing my mother smoke since she was a smoker before I was even born.

I'm fortunate, as in my family nobody smokes. The problem is when a visit comes to my family's home, as many of them want to smoke and that is strictly forbidden in that house. That's because, of course, nobody wants to have a smelly house, and tabaco makes everything smell bad, but even so they complain. If someone from my family did something to make their home smell bad they would complain too, so sometimes I wish they would use their brains a little more

in my family, only me and my father smoke. but i have kind of given up. i don't smoke at home and they don't know that i smoke. i have two elder brothers and none of them smoke(i'm the youngest member). i used to smoke while away from home and hanging out with friends. my father has been smoking for so many years that he won't be able to quit. he's over 60 years of age now. but the good thing is he does all sorts of exercises whenever he gets the opportunity so he stays healthy. i started smoking some 5-6 years back and had become a heavy smoker in between. but i've been smoking rarely for the past couple of years. i go days without smoking also. it's as good as quitting now. i sometimes smoke while with friends or drinking. that's it. even i don't like the smell while others smoke!

hell0! well, in my family we are 3 on 1 :) and the non-smokers win :) in my family only my dad is a smoker, but he smokes from many years, maybe more than 30, but now he is trying to quit them, because they are really expensive now and will get even more, but it is really hard for him. we have never had problems with him as a smoker, because when he want to smoke he goes on the terrace, because inside it is forbidden :).

When I lived with my parents we were 3 smokers and 1 non-smoker. We've never been smoked in home, we go out on the balcony to do that. I was a smoker, but I didn't like the room to smell bad especially if you sleep in that room it's not a pleasure at all. And the wall-papers and furniture take the smoke and it smells bad for very long time. So we just did that activity out.

As for my family, all of us do smoke,it's hard because I really wanted to quit, the problem is, even if I want to, I could see them everyday smoking, so quitting is out of my mind right now.
