Advice
Okay, I live with my mom and my step dad.
they BOTH smoke. my step dad works on a boat for 4 days out of the week and then come home for 4 days. when he's gone my mom will smoke in the garage because she knows I hate the smell of it.
but when he's home they both smoke in the house.
(the living room) my question is; if I go in my room to get away from the smoke am I actually getting away from it? or am I still breathing in cigarette smoke! i've seen that commercial on tv where there is now a cigarette that lets out water vapor, instead of smoke and its not unhealthy for the person! I want to get it, but im a kid so I dont have that kind of money.
my stepdad REFUSES to quit smoking, and since its not "my house" I have no say so as to where he goes to smoke.. HELP!
I know how you feel. My mother is a heavy chain smoker. I would say she smokes AT LEAST every 15 minutes. I have very bad allergies as well, and the sad thing is she doesn't even care. I personally think it is the rudest thing in the world, but what can you do?
I just leave the room whenever she lights up. I don't think I should have too, but I am just sick of arguing with her over it. That's what you should do too. You should also sit down with your mother and step dad and calmy explain that although you know and respect that it is their house, you have to live there as well and the smoke really bothers you. Tell them out of respect for you as a person, they should limit their smoking to one part of the house. Preferably the garage.
It probably won't work, but it's worth a try. If it doesn't work, mention this vapor machine to your mother. Maybe she will get it for you. It's the least she could do.
