smoker in the house?

Question

I now live with my sister and my new brother in law who smokes. I hate the way it smells and it gives me a huge headache. My clothes have already started to smell also. Since its been cold outside he has been smoking only in the restroom but it spreads everywhere. I already tried to tell him to please stop or at least to smoke in his truck but he doesn't listen and my sister won't tell him anything especially since the just got married. I don't want to cause problems but how can I deal with the smell or what else can I tell him so he can understand that I can't stand the smell???

Answer 1

Ask him when he smokes in the bathroom to please open the window and turn on the fan. When he's done to please leave the fan on and close the door. That's the best I can come up with. It's their house. they are paying the bills, and they get to do what they want. Is there another bathroom you could use? As for your clothes, this sucks for you. I can only recommend doing your own laundry, and keeping it put away. Drawers closed and closet doors closed. Try some potpourri in your closets and drawers. Keep your bedroom door closed and see if you can get an air filtering system. These are expensive though. Good luck.

Answer 2

When you live with someone else and it's their house it's their rules, not much you can do, sorry.
