"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."

Anyone who would put their family below a smell is pathetic. What is the difference between you chosing not to spend an extended period of time at a smokers house vs. a smoker chosing not to do the same at an anti smokers house? Is it all based on the morals you get to dictate?

It's not about dictating morals. It's all about stench. Period. Not smoking doesn't cause disgusting smells. Smoking does. I make no moral judgments on anyone who smokes. The act of smoking is no more immoral than the act of biting ones fingernails (another disgusting habit that I, thankfully, was able to rid myself of several years ago). I have friends who smoke. I work with people who smoke. They are not bad people because they smoke, nor are any of you.
