Re: Do you allow people to smoke in your home?

I make no apology for my view on smoking as it damages non-smokers too.

Re: Do you allow people to smoke in your home?

But you know what is more damaging than passive smoking? Having bigoted people's views forced upon yourself.

Re: Do you allow people to smoke in your home?

You choose to post on this forum so should expect to hear opinions with which you don't agree. If you think objecting to being damaged by a a smoker's filthy habit is being bigoted I am sorry for you! I have no more to say on this topic.

HOORAH !

Re: Do you allow people to smoke in your home?

I Whole Heartly Agree with you. I've been Absent from here for a While Now simply because a Certain Person with said Bigoted Views Returned. I had nothing but Hassle from this Person a While ago, they followed me around The Forum doing their Level Best to Wind me up.
I also used to Smoke, started when I was 15 but wasn't a heavy Smoker, found it easy enough to give up nearly 20 Years ago. I never Smoked in anyones Home unless it was my Friends who was also a Smoker. I would ask anyone who wanted a Smoke at my Place to go out to the Back Door for it, No ones ever taken Offence and I really see no reason why they should.
My Laird is not a Smoker, never has been.
I also wouldn't let anyone light up in my Car.

Re: Do you allow people to smoke in your home?

There you go again - filthy habit? Yes, you don't like smoking and I can completely understand people having such a view, but to insult the person by referring to it as you did is just childish.

Re: Do you allow people to smoke in your home?

I doubt that, you always seem to want the last word on any subject.

I encourage the neighbours to come and smoke in my lounge, it saves me the trouble of having to emulsion the walls and ceiling, it's a lovely shade of magnolia.

OH and I smoked for years until he was taken ill ( not smoke related)and he gave up as a result of being in hospital for 3 mnths, I kept smoking altho' to cut down I only smoked outside but I made the outdoor area as comfortable as possible with table, comfy chairs etc ,even a telly so that visitors who smoke will feel welcome and I still enjoy a few fags a day, too expensive nowadays, lol and to add to my evil ways, i like to have a glass or two each night after tea, never been ill, just the occasional cold etc. imo you either get sick or you don't. i have a dog who lives inside and a cat, if anyone dared to complain that my home smelled I'd just tell them not to bother coming back, I don't run around the house with aerosols and bleach to cover up the signs that it's actually lived in.

There is no risk-free level of contact with secondhand smoke;
even brief exposure can be harmful to health

This might be a good time to post some Medical Data
