My mother thinks I'm dumb since I can't breathe when she smokes around me |

Why is this ok? She just screamed at me because I asked her to turn on the fan. Dammit, I have a cold, and can barely breathe as it is, but then she smokes around me and I start hacking up a lung. And she makes fun of me. CAn you tell me on any level that this is OK? Duckie

1. It's not okay. She didn't have to scream at you. |
|
Now. Is there another room you can go into to get away from the smoke?

But there's no tv or a way to get on the internet. I'm going to bed in 15 minutes anyway. Duckie

3. You can breath when you get your own house damnit! |
|
Under my roof, we do things my way. If that means you hack up a lung or two, so be it. ;-)

7. Enjoy Your Time With Her |

Smoking generally cuts down on your life's clock. Try to get her to quit. :-/

And I'm a smoker. Second hand smoke bothers me, too.

10. Can you light a candle in the room? |
|
It helps dissipate the smoke. Used to use it with my father.
My :loveya: smokes, but he only does it outdoors or in the garage, never in the house or the car. He also hates the smell of smoke.

11. Shoot her and be done with it. |

It's my considered opinion that smokers are just committing slow suicide anyway, so why not just speed it up a bit?
BTW, I'm an ex-pack a day man myself-- twenty five years ago. Now my lungs are as clean and healthy as those of a new born babe.

12. When a person has a cold it is worse for them around smokers... |
|
at least it has been for me.
It smells more like poison at that time then at any other time.
Maybe you can try having her in a small room and spray a lot of enamel paint and see how she feels about it.
Have you ask her why she is trying to kill herself by smoking? Doesn't she know that suicide is illegal?

17. It's also illegal to try to kill you |
|
I used to smoke and I have compassion for people with a habit. BUT I also have compassion for those who are forced to inhale other people's smoke especially when they're sick or suffer asthma or something.
That's just so inconsiderate. :grr:
