I don't mind that but i didn't committed with anyone yet so if i get marry i allowed to her to smoke because that is her wish to but i don't expect from her like that so we can understand each because of the good communication.

actually, both of us smokes, so there no problem about it for the both of us. but once, we are in front of some friends/people...we know what to do and that is not to smoke in front of other person besides the two of us. in a simple way, we express our respect towards the other person by not smoking.

I really could not deal with it. I hate being around people who smoke and have been from childhood. I feel as if my oxygen supply is being cut off and I start stifling. I could not deal with being kissed by a smoker either. I basically stay away from smokers where relationships are concerned. It would not last long at all if my partner could not stop smoking as I could not cope. If the smoker has a problem giving up the habit I doubt I would be of much help to him and no I would not complain continuously. To me that would be senseless and useless. Id just have to call it a day.

I am glad this is not a concern for me because I didn't marry a man who smoke because I can't live with a man who smoke. For the case of your friend, it would be appropriate if they talk it out together as husband and wife.If smoking will affect your friend's health then may be the man can compromise.It's not easy to quit from smoking but if a man is very willing to overcome it then it will be donelittle by little.It's a matter of disciplining oneself and having the will to overcome it especially for the sake of a loved one.

Don,t complainany more. Be kind and understanding and try convince him that whatever he has been addicted is the worse...and love the most.

I don't think I'd ever have ended up in a long term relationship with a smoker. it makes people seem very unnatractive, as they often smell bad, so you wouldn't find yourself wanting to be near them in the same way you would with a non smoker. if he cares about his children he should go outside the house to smoke. both while she is pregnant, and when there are children living in the house.

I would never have married a smoker in the first place but, if my husband took up smoking then he'd have to go.... its bad enough having his dog here!

Please tell her to avoid smoking..smoking affects not only the smoking person...and also the person near him...or put a bubblegum when he is with his wife..

My father smoke too.I don't like the smell.I often think that my spouse must not be a smoker or that I won't marry him.The smoke is bad for the baby.I think your frend's husband should atten this.

if he is willing to give up smoking maybe a support group might help? this is a marriage here. It is a give and take, maybe with the baby comming he will quit.It would be good for those to to talk things out, not just complaining about it. He might see her as nagging and do it to spite.
