I just wanted to share some of my thoughts.  When I was younger and growing up I was blessed to be born into a strong family that had strong family values and that taught me about the word of wisdom from an early age.  I was blessed so much by loving parents and by good examples all around me.   When I married I was suddenly far away from my immediate family and I was around people who smoked more and it was a different atmosphere and life for me.  I have had to learn to deal with it and to be tolerant of others who choose to smoke. It's especially  hard when my mother-in-law took care of my children when they were little and I worried about them being around cigarette smoke, especially my son that had asthma. My mother-in-law respected me and didn't really smoke around me because she knew I didn't care for it.  I could still smell it in her house and clothes and in her car.  I have had to borrow her car recently and I have trouble breathing in her car because of the strong smell of cigarette smoke.  It is something that is hard for me but I know that other people have their free agency but it does affect other people around them.
