I gave up smoking 5 years ago after god knows how long of a 30 a day habit. DH has managed to stop easily in the past but seems to find it impossible to do it again. I told him last new year that, after Jan 1st, I was going to ban him to the garden if he wanted to smoke. He agreed to this and assured me he was going to give up anyway. He lasted about 3 days and has been back on them ever since. He smoked in the living room the whole time I was pregnant with DS2 who's now 15 months while I was sitting next to him. When I brought up the issue a few days ago, he got really stroppy and went on about the fact that I take too many headache tablets (which I probably do) but I told him it's not the same thing - He doesn't have to put up with passive Solpadeine taking and they don't smell. I'm generally a live and let live kind of person but I'm sick of the whole house stinking of smoke and not being able to watch tv without feeling like I'm sitting in a pub before the smoking ban. I know he'd never dream of smoking around another pregnant woman but it was fine to do it round me for 9 months. It's not a moral high ground issue, I genuinely hate the smell and,although he waits until the kids are in bed, the smell still drifts upstairs and Ds2 has a really hacking cough at the moment. AIBU?
