Tobacco Use and My MENA Man  

35 members have voted

  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?

Ugh. This is a sore topic around my house.

Before he came here, my husband insisted he wanted to quit, and I was convinced that smoking outside in Minnesota winters would cure him. Unfortunately, he has tried several times, but he keeps going back to it. He still smokes outside and has even become somewhat adjusted to the cold (not that he likes it :wacko: ).

Now I'm hoping he'll quit for the baby, but I'm not holding my breath.

Tobacco is a very powerful addiction.

I didn't vote because there was no option that fit. My husband doesn't smoke, I don't smoke (hooka or cigarettes or anything else for that matter). If he did smoke I do not allow smoking in the house (and he hates the smell too...)

Husband doesn't smoke, I do, I had quit for almost 10 years, and went through a divorce and started the bad habit again. No one in the family smokes, so they don't care if I have to freeze outside. My husband is sweet about it, my mother, is a total witch about it. I need to stop smoking again, but right now, I just can't even think about that. :wacko:

I do allow smoking in my house but I would prefer a window be opened or at least cracked when the smoking takes place. It's just too cold and inconvenient in the winter to make my husband go outside to do it. I do have lots of those plug in air freshener thingys around the house to combat the odor.

He smokes a lot, I smoke a little. We both smoke in the house.

Same here Jenn. We both smoke (Bren with more enthusiasm); but we don't smoke indoors. We smoke in the balcony. When people who smoke come over, I have no problem allowing them to smoke indoors though.

Smokers of the world, unite!!! ;)

p.s. Did I tell you folks that I was about to be ticketed for smoking OUTDOORS in my campus???? 100 USD for one ciggie. I got away with it and was not ticketed, but sheesh! the "citation" for smoking mariijuana is 25 USD... insane.

OK I am not sure how to vote cos I don't allow ciggette smoke in my house but we do smoke the hooka in the house. So I guess I should check yes I allow smoking in my house.

Same here. I checked no, i don't allow it coz i don't consider hooka as "smoking" heheh i know it has the same(0r worse) effect but it smells good so It doesn't bother me. Cigarettes are def not allowed coz they make everything reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak.

Hubster does not smoke so no problems there.

I am an occasional smoker so its not a problem for me either. Usually I have 1 or 2 on the way to work and 1 or 2 on the way home from work..thats it.

I do not smoke in the car with my son or husband with me coz I think its rude to clog their lungs with my habit. But that's just me.

We don't sit in the smoking section of restaurants either coz I can't stand the smell of a dirty ashtray while I'm trying to eat.

did i rant long enough? lol
