Are you a smoker?
Is your H a smoker?
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: POLL
I was - I quit 7 years ago
H has never smoked
Stand up for something you believe in.
I was, but quit right after our wedding.
H is still...heavily...sigh
Me-never
H-yes, but he quit
{My Blog}
I did and then both of my paternal grandparents died of lung cancer and I threw them in the garbage and never looked back. It is, however, a tell tale sign that I've had way to much to drink if I ask for a cigarette; I'll take 3 drags and then want to throw up.
Jay has been smoking since he was like 15, gross
He is in the process of quitting though and is doing a great job. I told him I would not have babies until he quit smoking for at least year; I have no interest in having that around my kids on a daily basis or having a husband who has to consistently go outside to smoke for 20 minutes while I deal with kids by myself.
Me- I smoked in college and HS but I wouldnt ever consider myself a smoker.
Andy- He was a heavy smoker until January 2008. He also used to use smokeless tobacco/chew and he quit that 14 months ago. It never bothered me but I'm proud of him that he has kicked those bad habits.
Ya...this gets really annoying.
me- used to be - now just enjoy a cigar
Mark- occasional cigar and that is it!
I am not.
Guy is.
Agreed! I get so mad.
Me: Negative, though I will enjoy a clove cigarette if it is available.
Chris: Negative, though he has been known to enjoy a "recreational" smoke every now and again...
**Sidenote** Absolutely NONE of this is done around my daughter, and even if someone happens to be smoking around her, I will either ask them politely to move away (ie my father) or I will move her away myself. And there is no smoking allowed indoors. Ever.

I smoked through most of college and post-college years, with some breaks in between. Quit for good in Fall of 2006.
H - never.
I've never even tried a cigarette before. Josh has never been a smoker but he will enjoy a cigar now and then.

That's what I figured. I would get annoyed before because he'd leave during movies(at home) or while we're out to dinner and it would piss me off, so I figured it would anger me exponentially more if there was a child to be cared for.
Me: Never have smoked anything
Floyd: Did for a short time, but quit like 10 years ago
me: never
Before Scott and I met, he used to smoke a little when he drank. The second night we hung out I told him I'd never date a smoker. He hasn't smoked since.
Me: Nope. Never even tried cigarettes. My dad smoked/quit/smoking again, and it's just gross to me.
Danny: Nope. Not sure if he's tried it though. He may have, but never picked up a habit.
And to what MB said, my dad ALWAYS went outside or away from the kids (any kids) when he had a cigarette. I'm worried about when we have LOs, because MIL & FIL are both chimneys and smoke all the time. They gave us furniture and it took us 6 MONTHS to get the cigarette smell out of the fabric/air.
I can't wait to tell them they can't smoke around my kids.....
Make sure they know that this is a fact and not an opinion; you should probably give them definitions so they can be sure, they will certainly appreciate them
Oh don't get me wrong -- my dad has always gone outside to smoke too, and still does, but sometimes if we're all outside with Sam, he doesn't realize how the wind is carrying the smoke, and I have to ask him to move further away... he udnerstands.

I literally laughed for a whole damn minute!!! My dogs gave me goofy looks!! I PPH you, Vanessa. Totally.
Nope, didn't get you wrong at all. The big capital ALWAYS was more of a distinction between my dad and my ILs. Dad understands....ILs....well, like, Vanessa said, they may need some definitions.
Me: Nope. Having bad asthma kinda prevents me from smoking.
J: No, although he will have an occasional cigar.
Dx: Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism After 2 years TTC & failed IUs,we have our IVF baby born 9/24/11
LO#2 aka 'Miracle Baby' Orig. EDD= 9/28 EDD moved to 10/3/13
