Smoking in the house or not?


Question:
I was just curious to know how much worse the environment is in the house of someone that smokes in the house compared to someone who doesn't.

My mom doesnt smoke in the house and I was thinking about if she was how would it feel or see or even taste in here.

Well, let's see...first off, your house would smell like stale cigarette smoke. Even smokers who don't mind the smell of a burning cigarette have a problem with the stale smell. Everything inside the house will stink too. The furniture, the beds, the walls...pretty much everything! Cigarettes smoke sticks to fabric, carpeting, wood, wallpaper, etc. All of your clothes will smell like smoke, which will cause you to walk around constantly reeking like an ashtray. The smell also gets in you hair and can even stick to your skin.

The entire house will have a yellowish tint to it. The nicotine will brown up your walls and furniture. And of course, depending on how long it has been since the last cigarette was smoked, the cloud of smoke that fills the room will be there.

Since you will constantly be exposed to the secondhand smoke, you will slowly lose your sense of smell. So after a while, you may not even realize how bad your house (and you) smell. The odds are also in favor of you developing some smoking related diseases. The constant exposure to the smoke is just as bad as smoking yourself.

The best thing to do is keep things like they are now, and don't invite cigarette smoke into your house.

Best of luck!
Well your furniture and stuff would smell like cigarette smoke. Your walls would be dingy from cigarette smoke if they are painted walls. You would be breathing in the smoke and you might have more repsiratory problems because of breathing second hand smoke. Also depending on where she smoked you clothes might even smell like cigarette smoke and so might your hair etc.
It is really bad!
Take a whiff of an ashtray that hasn't been emptied of cigarette butts in a week. The house and it's occupants (including the pets) smells like that! The walls and furniture can take a yellow-ish gray tinge, blah-blah-blah...The other day I walked into my mom's house and one of her obnoxious in-laws was staying there (mom has just quit smoking and is doing terrific!)..and I could tell this clod had been smoking in the house because it reeked! Instantly, I saw red, taking the makeshift ashtray and violently hurling out into the back yard. The in-law soon followed!
