Tobacco Use and My MENA Man

  1. 1. Given that tobacco use is so prevalent in MENA countries, and not as much in the US, how are you going to handle it?

This is my first poll, I hope it works. I thought of this poll when I was reading some people's posts about where you can and can't smoke in the states. I don't care what Osiris has to do...but he's not smoking in my house!

No smoking allowed in the house!!! I told my husband way before he even go here that he could not smoke in the house. My daughter has bad asthma and I didn't need cigarette smoke around here. Actually since I stopped smoking about 10 years ago I cannot even stand the smell of smoke in our friends homes, on people clothing, etc. It's like I'm a lot more sensative to smells now.

Let it all hang out and do your own thing is pretty much my motto, but please if you smoke, go to the window where I have a fan blowing out. If you don't , the smoke could kill my birds.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

I got him a big ole winter coat, boots and long undies so when he is kicked outdoors to smoke he won't freeze his cajones off. :P

well my husband prooooooooooomised he'd quit by the time he got the visa. it was a HUGE issue with us. he lasted about two weeks before he broke down and bought his first pack. now i make his ####### smoke anywhere but in the house! and he usually brushes his teeth before he comes near me with those ashtray lips!

Well I definitely do not allow anyone to smoke in my house............Including my own Mother. However, my habibi has already quit for me. So I do not have to worry about it. But I voted that I definitely do not allow it in my house.

I am so lucky to have you Ahmed!!!! I love you. (L)

Well Dh didn't smoke before and doesn't smoke now. I checked the "not in my house I don't care" option though because if he did smoke, that would be my attitude.

None of my posts have ever been helpful. Be forewarned.

I smoke (way too much) but even when its freezing or hot a h*ll.. I have a fan in the window blowing out. He wants to quit eventually and he is going to "help" me stop smoking hee hee

I did quit for 3 years once, so I guess I can do it again.. but Im just not willing to give it up yet.

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

I had to pick the fourth choice, but he doesn't smoke, we don't allow smoking in our house (neither does our landlord), and the climate here is very mild anyway, so no cajones will be frozen.

I smoke at my place partially to piss my neighbour off, because they pissed me off when I moved in because of my smoking in front of the building and partially because it is my place heII I pay the rent and I don't want to walk down 3 flights of stair every time. My neighbour happens to be a fanatic environmentalist who I love sticking it to every time they tell me I am infringing upon their rights, I tend to remind them they have the right to move out if they feel offended by my habit.

I do not smoke when with Sharon unless we are outside, no smoking in the car, in the house or any other places such as restuarants with smoking sections.

I love reading all your answers so far! I should have put a "We're already non-smokers" option on there...sorry. My downstairs neighbors smoke...it's against the lease, and we have been assured by the landlord that it's not happening...funny, it doesn't smell like it's not happening!!!

Well I don't allow smoking in my house...and wouldn't allow it around my children...he understands that and is okay w/it...and besides he does want to quit...so I am sure....when its 20 below and he is outside w/icicles hanging from various areas of his body trying desperately to light his cigarette and shield himself from the icy wind....it will "help" him stop....it is an ongoing joke that I have mentioned before...he laughs about all the changes moving here..no smoking in the house, in the car, in any restaurants or stores...he is cleaning/cooking/and washing for me...hahaha..we have a great time w/this joke!!!
