[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 228827, member: 1233"] I think the smoke alarm is an excellent idea. And a fairly inexpensive one. On the downside, if he smoked at night the rest of you would not be able to go back to sleep easily. It might have an impact on Aubrey. Have you ever CAUGHT him smoking in their? If so, toss water on him because you are afraid he is "burning up". I think a financial cost might be effective, or taking away his games or computer time EVERY time. What about a set of bins/cubbies right by the door, or in the garage to put his cigs AND lighters or matches in. If they are not there and he is home, another fine of some time. What would hurt him the most to lose? computer? xbox? what? and is it hockable? Take it to the pawn shop to pay for the "energy" that was drained from you in dealing with this. Also to pay for oust or whatever to get the smell out. Give HIM the pawn ticket and if he wants it back he can work to pay off the pawn ticket. But YOU will get him where it hurts - cost him $$ AND removal of his item for a while. It also would be good to set up an outside smoking area with chairs, gravel filled can for butts, etc... Maybe even dedicate a blanket or 2 for snuggling up in when he is smoking? These are just a few ideas. Also call MR/MH to see what adult facilities they have for people who cannot live alone. I am so sorry, the smoking in the bedroom is SCARY. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
