Living in a household with smokers is what I mean, and "I don't smoke around my son" is kidding yourself; just because you don't *see* the smoke doesn't mean it's gone. After you've been off cigarettes long enough for your sense of smell to clear up you'll realize how pervasive and persistant tobacco smoke and other residues are, because you'll be able to smell it anywhere people smoke, even if they're not doing it "around" you.
I grew up in a household where my dad smoked like a chimney, and my mom smoked secretly. Today she smokes in her own "apartment" withing my brother's home; she's still pretending nobody knows she smokes. But walk into her space in the house, and you instantly know it's full of smoking residue.
Oh, she's alone now because he died of cancer at 59.
