How to cope when you have a smoker in the house??

Hey all! I'm on Day Two and feeling awesome. The only real trouble I am having so far is the fact that there is another smoker in the house. My husband smoked but he has quit too so that leaves my Brother In Law. He has agreed to smoke in the basement or outside. This morning I went down to the basement and there was an ashtray over flowing with butts. I immediately went and covered them in water and through them ouside in the snow. He is not a responsible person and I can not rely on him to keep up with this. Also I smelt smoke coming out of his room yesterday on my Day One. Torture!! My question then is how can should I deal with this?? Is this something I just have to cope with or are there any strategies I can use on him :) I'm hoping my and his brother's good example will eventually lead him to quit but I'm not crossing my fingers.

Day 2 and feeling good

Hey all! My name is Danni and I am on Day Two of my quit!! This the fourth time I have attempted this but I feel like this one is for good. My chest already hurts less and I'm feeling OK. I had one weak point last night but managed to get through that with a glass of cold OJ, some chewing gum and a bath. I have to admit I cried which seems a little silly this morning. Anyway I hope to share my journey with others and help some people along the way. Expect to hear from me when it all gets bad and when its all good. Keep it up everyone. N.O.P.E.!!!!!

Day 2 and feeling good

Cassie - I'm in western massachusetts... just waiting for the snow here. Looks like you took a beating this morning. God I hate the winters here. I went snow boarding for the first time ever last weekend to help fight the winter blues. I'm still sore!! Well I'm still quit. Had a bad crave earlier but phoned my mum and she reminded me why I was doing this and told me to go and get some gum and it went away. I am trying to do some homework for college but I'm finding it hard to concentrate... I keep reaching for the pack unconsciously. I put the pack of gum there instead and I must be chewing about 5 pieces of gum right now! Day Three is half over. Looking forward to bed tonight :) Danni [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/31/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 2 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 76 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $10 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 9 [B]Seconds:[/B] 10

How to cope when you have a smoker in the house??

Thanks for all the help everyone. BIL went away for two days yesterday (nothing to do with me I promise :) so I have a chance to clean everything today. Hubby and I are picking up air purifiers tonight as well as a bucket for BIL to put his butts in. Hopefully that should all help. To be honest I really dislike the smell of smoke... and I'm starting to smell it on EVERYTHING! I guess I have to deal with smokers at some point. This will just make my resolve stronger. :) Again thank you Danni [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/31/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 2 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 68 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $10 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 40 [B]Seconds:[/B] 42
