Smoking

[sak4kat]

Isn't it it funny how some friendships can take off right from where they left off.  I have a few friends like that myself.  Even though the friendship is still there people do change and take on different likes and dislikes.  I suppose your going to have to be down right Frank with your old time bud.  Tell them like it is.  It's your home and you have that right.  Kudo's for having quit and stuck it out all these years.  I hope your friend takes it with a grain of salt.  If it's that big of an issue for them than the problem may be deeper than being more than a responsible/respectable smoker.

I quit smoking 12 years ago.  I had a very good girlfriend who I went to clubs with and had lots of fun.  She moved and just returned to the area  She still smokes (1 - 2 packs a day)  I want to "hang" with her, but how do I tell her not to smoke in my car or house.  I tried one time and her answer was something like "what's the big deal, you used to smoke & I smoked in your
car and house hundreds of times"  I want to see her but how do I get her to understand.  My husband said tell her he refuses smoking in the house but I don't want to say that

If you ask her not to and she still does she is NOT your friend. She is a BAD person that is unworthy of friendship.

I don't know...smoking outside is the only acceptable thing unless you live alone and it's your house.  It's rude to anyone else to expose them to smoke even if the person you are exposing smokes themselves.  I smoke cigarettes a little and smoke pot and me and all my friends all smoke outside.

What's the big deal for her to go outside and smoke! If she can't respect that then she's not worth hanging out with anymore. You don't have to deal with her
