I dated smokers and non smokers and found I was much more compatible with smokers so I married one.
As for the kids, with all the anti smoking retoric going on in the school systems I'm sure that will come one day.
So did I, but situations can change, did you get a pre-nup she will not quit smoking? I never thought of that either. |

That's unbelievable how inconsiderate some people can be. That was your house. You invited them over and fed them, and they're telling you not to smoke anywhere in your own home, becasue there's a kid there. They're in the wrong state then. I guess they never go out to dinner except for fast food. |

Yeah, my wife and I were pretty taken back by the situation! But you have to understand, these people have become hypochondriacs since they had children!
These people were once a lot of fun to be around but times have changed! |

My dad smoked the entire time I was growing up - and I never suffered a single moment because of it. I never had any ill health, or health-related problems, and to this day I'm the healthiest person I know, never having been in a hospital a day in my life (since birth).
The real truth is, you ANTI-s come on here from the Truth and just try to spread anti-smoking hatred. We all know smoking is not as harmful as has been reported, you guys just want to try and control smokers because you are health nazis.
So to answer your question, No, there is no harm in smoking in the same room as my children, and I would do it. About 20-30 years ago that was the accepted norm, before all this anti-smoking rhetoric come about. |

seems a common answer
but as stated above there is research showing both sides.
so if one has done their research, they come to a even keel playing field?
so let me get this right
you want to have your kids(age 1-10 lets say) sit in your house, while you smoke up 2 packs a day or whatever, and you don't THINK there is anything that may harm them?
i know smoke is technically no less harmful then sucking the backend of a tailpipe, but ummm last i checked the smoke you emit, and hence sitting the air, contains toxins(something every study admits to) and those toxins can harm the lungs of your children.
you choose then to take the risk, that’s fine i can see why you would take the risk, i mean that small nicotine high i get is SOOOOOO worth endangering the health of my kids.  |

 Come to think of it, both of the guys complaining are overweight.
Bordering fat I would say! |

Knock-on-wood I've never had to tell anyone to leave, but you can bet your azz that I would before I had to take a walk to have a smoke (while the deed to the ranch is in my name)
