I am an ex smoker. I never smoked with my older 2 but started again when my youngest was a few months old. I was a 'very good' mommy and wouldn't smoke inside - hubby and I smoking outside. We never allowed anyone to smoke inside at all.

My child started getting allergies, in particular 'glue' ear. He had 2 sets of grommets. We took him for a check up visit to the ENT Consultant , who bluntly told us that if we didn't stop smoking, he wouldn't be able to help our child anymore. We told him that we never smoked near him and only outside. He said that the smoke still effected him.

We both stopped smoking immediately, guess what, my sons ears cleared up immediately and so did his bronchial asthma.

We felt really terrible, as it was our smoking, albeit not in 'front' of him. that had been making him ill.

The NHS may be too politically correct to tell you to quit, luckily for us, our ENT Specialist in South Africa wasn't and told us how it is. We were making our child sick.

If you are a smoker and have children with allergies such as asthma, glue ear etc, I suggest you stop smoking.

Oh, and smokers, you do stink. After I quit my sense of smell returned. Well, I can walk into a house and tell straight away if someone smokes there. It hangs around the curtains and the carpets. It is vile. I am ashamed my home smelt like that, which it did, even though we smoked outside.

When i lived with my DD's dad, he used to smoke in the flat, and let all his friends in, smoking like chimneys all of them. Then when DD developed an alarming cough he insisted on pouring gallons of cough medicine down her neck every night, then branded me a 'bad mother' when i said 'no more medicine, she will end up dependant on it and YOU are causing the problem from now on you only smoke outside with the front door closed'

He was a manipulative bully and well used to getting his own way so he was shocked to hear me speak up, but guess what, he went outside to smoke and DD's cough was gone within a day. And he was critising MY parenting!

But to me that was typical of blinkered smoker views.

A friend of mine had a baby, smoked all through the pregnancy :mad: then started smoking outside when baby came home from hhospital. This stopped when baby was about 6 months old. Evidently six months is old enough to start being poisoned

i smoked outside a bus shelter once purposely so as not to bother anyone and a woman came and stood beside me and started tutting

i was nowhere near anyone and she chose to stand next to me

you cant win really

I thought the smoking ban said was illegal to smoke in a public place that was enclosed or substantially enclosed so bus shelters I guess would count as substantially enclosed

Let people do what they want. If someone wants to walk down the street puffing on a cig then that is their choice.

in that case the bus shelters should carry the illegal to smoke here signs because some people will smoke in them.

i dont. not that that matters to the antis who are hell bent on anything but a bit of give and take.

and the point is i shouldnt have my actions dictated to me by the anti smoking brigade.

You clearly dont read and understand posts, are you smoking something other than fags???

I shouldnt have my actions dictated by smokers either....it works BOTH ways dear

I shouldnt have to constantly cross roads in a wheelchair (which at times isnt possible), or avoid busy areas etc because you are stopping my enjoyment of a public place.

Its an offence to drink in public, because it prevents people from enjoying the area and you can get arrested for it

its an offence to breach the peace/public order etc etc because its ruining peoples enjoyment of an area

I have no quams of smokers smoking away from main entrances and places I cannot avoid, or in there own home etc - that doesnt bother me. I just think public places should be fair for everyone. Im prevented from walking round naked in the park for everyones benefit, so what those anti-naked people are dictating my life??

Are you really this inconsiderate? do you smoke at the entrances to places? i.e. hospitals???

You mean like outside hospitals, that no-one pays attention to? or outside schools? that no-one pays attention to.....what difference would it really make?? majority of smokers DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYONE ELSE. fact.

you really dont get it do you? you are here moaning about smokers but expect us smokers to observe your rights but you are nto considering our rights as smokers.

i dont smoke in doorways, entrances to hospitals [!!!!, when i was in hospital i observed the rules and dragged my drip outside the grouns for a fag - and no, sorry to dissapoint, it wasnt a smoking related problem me being there for 3 days. i wasnt even ill and was kept against my will. another story, look it up if youre that interested in my life.]

i observe 'the rules' and yet you all carry on bleating and bleating. you will make yourselves ill. you lot got the rules made and yet you still arent happy.

what are we to do? top ourselves in a mass suicide?

and the majority of anti-smokers cvare not a jot about the smokers and their feelings.

how dare you assume i and other smokers here dont adhere to the rules because youve had a bad experience or two with other smokers.

how dare you judge me based on that without getting the facts from me.
