Stop whining and consider your son's future. When you smoke it clings to your clothes. And when you hug your son he gets the smoke on his clothes. Now would you let your son roll around in tar and formeldehyde and arsnic? Honey that is what you are sucking into your lungs every day.
You love the smoking thing. Hey I love cookie dough Blizzards from DQ. So if I have 10 Blizzards a day what happens? I gain weight. You continue smoking and your face will get wrinkles around your mouth that make you look like you are permenantly smelling something stinky.Your teeth will look disgusting and you raise your risk of lugging around O2 cylinders when you are in your 50s. No fun time with grandma JL, she has to pant and wheeze her way to the bathroom.
Scared you enough? And if you are scared of gaining weight what would happen if you do? YOu diet and lose weight. It isn't like cigarette smoking has magic teflon-like components that stop fat adsorption.
JL, read this and then remind us how much you love your son...
Many parents believe they spare their children the harmful effects of cigarette smoke if they don't smoke around the children, but doctors say that isn't true.
The tobacco smoke remains in the parent's clothing, remains on the parent's breath," says Dr. Wendell Todd, a pediatrician. "So the child is exposed to some even though the actual smoking is happening in a separate place."
Exactly how secondhand smoke contributes to middle ear infections is not clear, but a possible cause is a reduced immune response that leads to more upper respiratory tract infections. Also, doctors suspect that smoke may irritate the tissue surrounding the respiratory system.
"Inflammations can happen from other things than infection," Todd says, "and air pollution and tobacco smoke contribute to inflammation in the middle ear."
Middle ear infection -- technically called otitis media -- afflicts nearly half of all children by age 3. The infections cause fluctuating hearing loss, which can slow development in learning language and motor skills.

If I can't be part of the solution I insist on being most of the problem
