No, actually Andrea quit about a year before I did. There are no longer any smokers that live here. And yes, I allow and actually offer to have people smoke in my house.... anywhere in my house actually.
I realize I am the odd- man out but cigarette smoke / smoking does not bother me, or at least not very much. And I very well remember how tough it was when I was a smoker, and a pretty hard- core smoker at that, to have all the restricted places. So I let people smoke in my house. Almost no one does it anyway but if someone is here who smokes (because I see the cigarettes, smell it on them, etc. and know they smoke) I offer up an ashtray. The vast majority of people do NOT take me up on it but a couple do.
I only posted this to illustrate the huge range in human behavior and in contrast to your views on smokers. Not throwing rocks or criticizing you in any way, or anyone who does not like smokers / smoking, just saying that it is a non- issue for me (and my wife, apparently). Just that I find it a little bit amusing that we can be so polarized in opposite ways on the same subject. It happens all the time, and I am sure if we talked for a while we could find another subject where our positions were reversed but still it is a little amusing that this happens between what appears to be pretty normal, rational people (well, it seems you are Conrad- I have a pet desiccated squirrel and I find some of his opinions WAY out there).

You quit smoking cigs but still allow smoking in your house? I'm guessing that your wife still smokes? My wife smoked when we were first married but she quit about 25 years ago and she complains more than I do about the stale cigarette stank that some people have. I never smoked but even when my wife did smoke she wouldn't do it in the house or the car.
