I grow up smelling the smoke from cigarette. This is because I have relatives who smoke and more importantly, my dad smokes.
As I grow older, I become very irritated with the smell of the smoke. He doesn't smoke in front of me but when he smokes in the toilet, not only the toilet will smell but the whole house will smell. I get irritated by the smell and I really hate it.
What's worst is, he not only smoke before he leaves the house for work and also before he sleeps. Can you imagine...I will wake up to this smell and end my day with this smell.
Is it everyday? Yes, every morning I will smell it when I brush my teeth in the toilet.
I get that smoking is an addiction. He cannot stop and will not stop. He has been smoking since his teenage years so I doubt he will quit. Why can't he just be more considerate? His wife and children are not smokers but have to suffer and breathe in secondhand smoke which is even more harmful than primary smoke.
I just googled, "Some of the health conditions caused by secondhand smoke in adults include coronary heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer." If I get such health conditions in future, I might know what's the cause of it then.
I had a great public holiday today. I went out with my mum and brother for a movie at Vivo City and managed to dine out though we had to spilt into 2 tables. I enjoyed this simple day. What he just did just destroyed the day. I am really pissed off by the smell. I'm not sure how to think of this in a positive way such that I will not be affected by it. Every breath that I breathe in right now still have the smell of the smoke lingering. No longer at 100% but there's still a 20%. I still have to use the common toilet later before I head to bed.
How not to be affected by it? I have no idea and I think it's impossible to do it. I cannot control whether he smokes or not, but at the very least I do not want to smell it. Is this a lot to ask for?
