My husband was baffled when I first complained about the smell. He has no idea. When we first met I would go and stay with him for the weekend and there was him, his brother, his sister and her boyfriend all smoking in the house. It was horrible.
I would often leave Monday morning and go straight to work. I was so embarrassed when I noticed how bad I smelled. So I started wrapping my clothes up in plastic bags and keeping them in my backpack. Then just before I left I would toss them in the dryer with a fabric softener sheet to freshen them up and shake the wrinkles out.
His mother started on him before we were even dating, telling him he would have to quit because I don’t smoke. I don’t think even me being in the hospital would be enough to make him quit. I’m not sure he would quit even if it was him in the hospital. He did get scared once when one of his friends had a heart attack and he quit cold turkey. But it only lasted 2 weeks.
