[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 32258, member: 3419"] Interesting topic. I had to work my way up to it, partially because of time constraints, and partially because of personal issues... my mom died a cple yrs ago from squamous cell carcinoma on her tongue (she had half her tongue removed), and lung cancer. Dad was always on her case about smoking and after she got cancer, he had to keep his mouth shut. My grandmothers both smoked, and my older sisters still do. They are adamant about their rights, and in total denial about the health issues surrounding it, despite the fact our mom died from its effects right in front of our eyes. Plus, husband has asthma. In our first house, I had a little brass plate engraved and placed on the front door: "Thank you for not smoking in our home." The only people I had problems with-were my sisters! I guess being in someone's family grants you a sense of entitlement. Now we no longer need it... it's just a given that you don't smoke in other people's homes unless they themselves are smokers. Likewise, as in the notes above, you can't tell people not to smoke in their own homes. You either invite their kids to your house or skip it altogether. (Sometimes I wonder where people's brains are. I mean, would you tell someone not to drink in their own home or not to wear red hats because you don't like the color?) [i]I don't object to smoking regulations in public buildings but I do agree the anti-smoking nazis go too far with trying to outlaw it in your own home or car.[/i] I've never heard of that. Cars and houses are private property. Period. [i]When I was growing up everybody smoked; like Fran I remember when it was allowed on airplanes. [/i] I remember too! LOL. [img]:eek:[/img] [/QUOTE]
