You sound like a good kid..
But Bi**** at your mother as you put it, doesn't help..
Talking nice would do better but if she still wants to smoke in her own house then that's really her choice not yours..
Passive smoking is bad if you're in a busy bar with 10 smokers around you, not in a whole house with just one smoker..
The smoke doesn't even stay in the air that long and the smell will not kill you..
Simply leave the room when she smokes..
What inspired me to write this thread was that I saw a pregnant woman today who was pushing a two year old in a stroller with a cigarette in her hand that was less than a foot away from the toddlers head. So go ahead... Someone justify this to me as the sign of a good parent... Good Luck on that, by the way... It can't be done...

I never said I was healthy. My lungs are shot between the second hand smoke I inhaled as a kid from my two pack a day parent, plus an older sister with a similar habit, and the 26 years of smoking I did myself. Although my sense of smell and taste have improved, I am still very susceptible to nasal, lung and brochial infections. I cannot remember a time before the age of ten when I did not have some type of respiratory infection, due to the damage being done to my lungs by the smoke filled environment I was in.

Yeah, we are all different..
When my eldest son moved back home with his new daughter that was it for smoking in the house..
But then I grew up with my dad smoking in the house and many parties with everyone smoking..
Even smoking in places like McDonalds was allowed when I was a kid and yet my health is and always was fine..
So I just don't know if it really is that harmful or maybe only harmful to a few..

And I also understand the weight of the monkey that is on the back of smokers, as it took me dozens of tries to finally get that damn monkey off my back.
