Smoking

[kleenex40]

i would tell her that after all ur house ur rules,

[autumnsparklemom]

Though I am a smoker, I smoke outside and do not smoke in my car. She should respect your wishes if she is a true friend.

Well, personally, I wouldn't it consider it a big deal, but you could always hang out with her outside or not at home. It's not really a test of true friendship, because I know that best friends can try to be as annoying as possible  . Just don't say that "if she doesn't stop, she isn't a true friend."

i think you have a right to tell or not aloow anybody to smoke in your hopuse.

I have plenty of friends who don't smoke even though I do and I respect their right to not have me smoke in their car or house.  It's your car and house,  just say something but be nice about it and if she's a good friend she will abide by your rules.  Good luck!!!

Hopefully this will help.  My mom, sister and I all smoke.  When her youngest son was born we did not realize he was asthmatic and continued smoking in the house, car you name it. Until the day he became very sick and was brought to the hospital. The doctors told her about the asthma. Now we all respect the well being of her 14 year old son.  Just ask to respect your wishes. Hopefully she can stay a true friend and respect you for that

Your house, your rules. She may smoke outside.

smoking is so gross. there are some cigarettes that dont stink but it's very rare to find those people. their houses dont stink either. it's nice.

Thanks everyone    You all said basically the same thing.  I was also thinking the same but didn"t want to hurt her feelings.  But it's not her feelings that are important - it's my feelings and my health!  You guys are the best!! 

Agree and good luck on telling her!!

If you smoked years ago, presently or whatever; if you don't want smoking in your car are home then that's the way it should be. No questions asked. That is your home/car friend or not, you better control that issue before it cause problems in your home.

As a kid, I experimented with cigarettes, but that is the extent of my experience. I think it is one of the most nasty habits anyone can have.

She needs to respect your decisions

I USE TO SMOKE ONE AND HALF PACK A DAY I QUITE ON APRIL 21/2000 AT 11.30AM IT WAS HARD THE FIRST TWO WEEKS BUT AS TIME WENT BY IT GET EASIER SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

[sdecaro558]

Tell her your feelings about why you don't want her smoking in the car openly and honestly - and if she's a good enough friend, she'll listen to that.

Congrats on quitting.  A real friend would respect your wishes.  It is not that hard to go outside and smoke especially in the warmer months.
