I've used an awful lot of scare tactics. This biggest one yet...
My grandmother (her mother died) of Alzheimer's and had really bad cataracts. These have both been linked (somehow, it's just the tactic I use) to smoking.
I've blamed my mother for my asthma and allergies, since I grew up in a smoke filled house. Every time I go to visit my mom, even though she keeps her smoking to her bedroom and bathroom, I still get sick.
My husband and I have recently decided to try to start a family. I don't want to expose my kid to cigarette smoke. I don't want to deny access to the child, but I hate the idea of visiting my folks and exposing the child to the smoke.
My dad's also smoke pipe tobacco. He should be easier to convince to stop than my mom.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
I know there are others concerned like myself.
(Serious answers only. Please no point hogging.)
