to tell DD to fuck off and leave me the hell alone?

[SaggyBaggyPuss]

I smoke in the garden in the evenings filthy bastard that I am and now DD smokes too she keeps following me out there to talk at me . She has just given me a lengthy run down on some make up endorsed by the bloody Kardashians wondering if she should buy some and then had a rant about how crap it probably was .

My evening smoke-s- are my ME time (4 DC). Time to think things over and have pretend conversations in my head with people who have pissed me off, or fantasise about actually having a life. I try to 'hmmm' and 'OK' at appropriate times to pretend I'm listening to her which she has now caught onto but she still won't bugger off.

She's 19 btw.

AIBU to tell her to go out for a fag at different times to me (she won't because she's scared of the bats flying around) or ban her from smoking at all in the garden?

Fucking hell this post

Sorry OP I didn't mean your post I meant the posts after

A whole carton of fags each week? Did you manage to smoke them all?

My nanna just gave us shots of whiskey and Guinness

Did she live to a ripe old age?

I know what you mean op.

I'm down from 20 cigs a day to three and I can't let go of that last three - one in the morning before anyone else gets up, just quiet time with a cup of coffee, one when I get in from work and DH is getting a bath and one after before bed. If someone kardashian'd me during those sacred times I would be tempted to stub my cigarette out on their eyeball.

Wish I'd never started - although it was something just about everyone did back then. I was smoking at home from thirteen and this wasn't considered particulalry shocking at the time. Although awareness of the link with cancer and other terrible things was around then too, but perhaps not to the extent it is now.

One before going to bed, not after! I haven't smoked in bed for many many years!

Bit of a fire hazard

Oh god I do miss smoking. At a wedding recently and it was lovely and warm at 10pm and loads of people were going out for a fag and it was one of my first nights without the baby and DH wisely stopped me from having a lovely fag

She's like 70 now, my great grandmother diet consists of just sherry I think and she's like 94

My smoking nanna died at 60....

But she fell down the stairs and that's what killed her. Just an accident.

No doubt rushing to get to her cigs....

Igot I've stopped coz I'm pregnant but I find myself following smokers about just to smell it!

LOL. I do that sometimes.

The sensation from escaping from an arsey phonecall at work to go and have a lovely tingly smoke...gah non-smokers never understand

Derek I know it's a cliche but I was still in my clubbing days when the smoking ban came in- we went to an all nighter at our favourite club the last night before the smoking ban and it was fab. Went the next week and it was fuckin horrendous- the stench of hundreds of sweaty farty people was too much.

I so preferred pubs when people smoked in side

Pubs smell like BO, wet dog and toilets now

"The sensation from escaping from an arsey phonecall at work to go and have a lovely tingly smoke"

This is making me want one.

Your quiet ciggie in the garden sounds lovely and I'm so not a smoker. I think DD needs to be told to go away for ten mins. I frequently tell my children to stop talking. It's a form of rudeness to keep up the chatter when no one wants to be your audience so I figure I'm helping them with their life skills by telling them to stfu.

Pubs were horrible when people smoked indoors. All the surfaces got covered with a layer of the stuff and became dingy yellow, and you couldn't help but come out with your hair and clothes absolutely stinking. I was reminded of it when a man sat near to me on the train recently who was either a chain smoker or had recently been in an incredibly smokey atmosphere. The smell was like a miasma all around him, people were visibly flinching away from him.

They weren't that bad, at least not the ones I frequented.

My nana still follows smokers around for a sniff and she quit 50 years ago

although I've only quit for a year

This thread is making me want a fag! Gave up in January, but every now and again I could kill for one. OP I know exactly what you mean about those precious few minutes to yourself.

It's quite shocking really, that a woman is judged far more harshly on MN for smoking in the garden with her 19 year old DD, than a pregnant smoker usually is for sharing a direct nicotine supply with their fetus.

Did you mean to resurrect a Zombie?

Zombie smokers, anyone?!
