Whenever I am at my fiances house, I am always surrounded by lots and lots of cigarette smoke. His mother smokes, as well as his brother, sister-in-law, and many friends that are over at the house at the same time that we are. I am very sensitive to the smoke, to the point where I can have a bad headache for days after I leave their house. When I am in the setting, I sit off to the side because I can't handle the smoke, and I am called "anti-social" but I tell them I just don't like the smoke, but yet nothing changes.
I am at the point where if they don't take it outside when I am at their house, I will stop going to visit. The smoke makes me feel nauseous, very short of breath, and gives me terrible headaches.
How can I ask them to take the smoking outside without being rude? I feel as if I am telling them to get out of their own house. I respect smokers rights to smoke, but I also feel that I have rights as well, and don't want to be around it all the time.
