I know a LOT of smokers, almost everyone I know. None of them smoke around their children, whether it be in the home or the car. They all go outside to smoke when at home. ALL of them.My twins are long gone living their own lives, but when I get visitors who have children in tow, my wife and I smoke outside. Period.Just like I won't light up in any non-smoking places.......(that's why I spend very little $$ at restaurants or bars.

Life was so much easier 10-15 years ago.  I was born into a two smoker home.  I had no health problems.

Our daughter was born into a two smoker home.  She was a big baby at birth and healthy.  And no health problems all her life living here with my hubby and me.

She is now married with a babe of her own.  She and her hubby smoke, but not around the grandson.  They go outside to smoke, and never smoke in their cars when he is in the car as well.

But, they have learned to do this over the past 4 years.  They listened to Nanny government.  And they don't want anyone coming to threaten to take their son away just because they smoke.

The world has gone nuts.

Just goes to show that government can't get their acts together to handle real problems, so then ban smoking.

The world has gone nuts.

Indeed.

My point was only to say that I respect a person's or parents choice of keeping their offspring away from smoke. When in my home, they are guests and I treat them as such, whether their beliefs are unfounded or not. Not a big sacrifice on our part, since they get fed up with my dogs and woodstove fast enough....hahahahaha!
