Argh! My girlfriend was severely asthmatic as a child and her parents smoked at her all the time. As a primary school child she was accused of smoking herself because she stank so much of their smoke. Her dad is a doctor and her mum is a nurse. They still smoke at her when she visits despite her asthma obviously deteriorating in front of them. Her mum has emphysema and was given an inhaler by the doctor, so she thinks that 'it isn't that bad really'. Oh and she takes her inhaler immediately before her fags so she can inhale more fagsmoke.. *shudder* Am totally with you on the antismoking front.
