I am an ex-smoker, some 22 yrs ago I gave up, because I was going to have my first child, now my first child smokes, and it is so hard for me to watch, no-one smokes in my house EVER, my husband smoked when I met him, but luckily he gave up as well, thank goodness, as I cannot STAND THE SMELL either.

My son will smoke outside or in his caravan, then come inside, and the place and he reeks of it, it is so darn offensive to me, so I know exactly what you are saying.

I lost my adopted uncle (The only one I ever had) from lung cancer, and believe me it was a very horrible experience to watch him go through, I never care to go through this again.

In NZ next year they are banning all smoking in pubs, nightclubs, restaurants etc, we have had non-smoking zones, but honestly how well do they really work?

I believe this law is already in place In NEW YORK city, so how is it working for you folks?

Many are really unhappy about it, but I for one think it is great.

One last point, everyone knows smoking ages you, causes more wrinkles around those lips, they say more people would give up for vanity reasons than health, so why are they still smoking.?
