My mom smokes as well and she only smokes in the kitchen or the bathroom. She's attempted to quit before but she couldn't do it :c. I've been trying to get her to buy one of those E-Cigarette things because they seem a bit healthier than normal cigarettes, but she's having a hard time transitioning.
augh!
it wouldn’t be so bad if people just did it away from everyone else or not in the house at all; my mom used to smoke only outdoors but then just didn’t feel like doing that anymore, much to my chagrin
also she would get pissed at people for not buying her cigs
in my younger and more vulnerable years,
i briefly lived with a group of people barely scraping by, for whom budgeting food was a whole serious thing
naturally one of them was a smoker and had no problem spending $5/day on cigarettes
