is it ok to smoke in the same rooms as corns

I am only allowed to smoke in one room of my house. It happens to be the snake room. I've been doing it for 40 years. I'll let you know if any problems develop.

i know what our saying but u act like u have no say in smokeing eg (u have to have one when someone elce is) u dont have to just stop just make a promis to you self not to put the cancer stick in your mouth it pritty easy
 
Yes, English is appreciated.

Still, it's not that I don't have any say in it, its just that will power is a difficult thing to master when it's so easy to give in to a habit that has been part of my life for so long.
 
I saw my grandfather on his death bed from emphysema. He was my favorite person: a Korean War hero, an engineer, a fisherman, naturalist, and a genius. He shouldn't have gone out that way, I deserved more time with him. My husband smokes, he started smoking with his mom at a very young age. I will not let him smoke around our kids or our pets, but I can't seem to get that point across to grandma. I've tried everything I can think of to get my husband to stop smoking, but nothing yet has worked. Sometimes I'll ask him who I should marry after he's dead. I am afraid he'll need to see his mom dieing before he gets it, but by then it will be too late.

To any of our younger snake keepers that may read this; stop the habit now, I am begging you! You may think that you are young and being social, that it's no big deal and you only hurt yourself. Your grandchildren will miss you when you die a painful death at fifty.
 
Dreamsnake, I hear what you are saying and understand every word. I have had people close to me die from smoking related problems. I’ve seen black lunges and I watched people cough until they choke. I personally cough till I choke often. I have thought about not being here to see my grandchildren grow. I have thought about my wife living without me.

I have been through all of that and still smoke. I have been quitting for 30 years or more. I have tried everything under the sun, everything. I seriously want to quit. I will die from this if I don’t. I won’t bore you with all the heath issues I face but I still smoke not the less.

Do your grandma a favor, quit bugging her about her smokes. It is not going to help her quit an it is a constant irritant to her every time you bring it up. Appreciate the fact that your husband doesn’t smoke around you and the children and understand that he is doing that because he loves you and it is not an easy thing for him to do.

Your husband knows you want him to quit. One day it will be right for him and he’ll do it. Don’t underestimate how difficult that will be for him. It is a very difficult thing that some people are never able to do regardless of how badly they may like to. Be supportive, don’t nag.
 
Wade. Take up knitting. I am not kidding I knew a guy who tried everything his doctor and friends and family told him and nothing worked. Then a little old lady handed him some knitting needles at a bus stop and told him he needed his hands busy, then he could not smoke. He quit three years ago. Each time he wanted a cigarette he would pop a mint flavored gum (he like menthols) and pick up some knitting. After a few minutes (roughly the time it takes to smoke a cigarette) the craving was gone nad he was good a while. The hard part was during social gatherings. It took so long to quit because at first he was afraid of knitting in public. I just bet you haven't tried that. If you think knitting is too hard crochet is easier but just as busying to the hands. I hope that helps!
