"And here I thought we were all reasonable people. What kind of person values cigarettes over family? That is pathetic."

I am sure that Metesky would welcome his neice into his home! Of course she would have to be willing to enter a home where a cig might be smoked.

Would you visit the home of a relative that smoked?

Thankfully I don't have this dilemma, although the answer is yes, I would visit as long as they didn't smoke in my presence. I would not, however, stay in the home overnight or even for any extended period of time. I can't stand the smell for long.

As I said before, anyone who would value cigarettes over family is pathetic. Many people enjoy walking around the house naked. That doesn't mean that if they have a relative coming to visit that relative should be subjected to it. Same goes for smoking. It's a habit that may be offensive to some people. In the case when one of those people is a family member, reasonable steps should be taken to accomodate that sensibility. Any smoker who argues otherwise has their priorities out of whack.
