Avoiding smoke!
Okay, sooo.. Both parents in my family smoke i've tried talking to them about going outside but since it's "not my house" and since "i'm the child
" I can't control where they smoke.
if I am in my room with the door shut but people are still smoking not to far from me is that considered 2nd hand smoke and can I still be harmed from it? I mean i'm doing my best to avoid it..

its good you are trying to avoid it, but if people are smoking inside its going to be very difficult.
keep urging your parents to quit or at least smoke outside so they dont ruin your lungs
