Smokers: Do you smoke in your bedroom? email this discussion to a friend?

This year it will have been 12 years since I started smoking.

I used to smoke in my bedroom for the first 7 of those years, but in the past few years I've never smoked smoked in my bedroom.

My parents both smoke in their room at their house, and I hate sleeping in their room since it always smells musty and dirty, even though by all other accounts, their room is always very neat and clean.

I hate the smell of stale cigarette smoke first thing in the morning, and I noticed that it's really difficult to get the smell of cigarette smoke out of a mattress and duvets. I've aired them, steam cleaned the mattress, sprayed room spray and air freshener on them but even after 3 years, it still smells faintly. I don't think I'll ever smoke in my bedroom again, and I've never allowed anyone else to, either.

So what about the rest of the smokers on MyLot. Do you smoke in your bedroom? Or is it strictly a smoke-free zone, like mine?

I used to date a guy that smoked in bed. I knew he did before I even seen him doing it. His sheets were full of burn holes, as he would doze off and drop his ciggerette. One night, we were watching t.v. and I seen him do it. I was always worried he was going to start a fire. I don't know if he ever broke the habit, but I hope he did. Smoking is dangerous in the first place, but I think smoking it bad is a bad thing to do. Unless you'r sure not to fall asleep and you've put your ciggerette out completely before falling asleep. You don't want to wake up to a smoke and fire.

Oh now that's just carelessness. See, that's something I've never understood. How is it you cant put a cigarette out when you feel yourself getting tired? I dont' get people like that. That's as bad as trying to drive while tired.

Hi breepeace,

I always smoke in my bedroom. And I smoke there most of the time because I spend a lot of my time there in front of my laptop. But I always open the windows when I smoke. At least part of the smell will flow out from my room. It is bad actually because of the smell but I used to it already. I didn't smell something weird about it anymore. Maybe the non-smoker feel bad about it but no me.

Happy mylotting and have a nice day.

I have smoked for about 40 years now, and the one place that i have never smoked was in the bed room, I was always afraid of falling asleep with one lit and burning the house down. My husband never smoked in the bed room either.

I do smoke in my bedroom, but that is mostly because my bedroom is ALSO my livingroom/computer room, and when watching tv or playing on the computer, i just can't NOT smoke*lol*...but i know what you mean, every so often, it seems like all i can smell when i crawl into my bed it the smell of stale cigarrette smoke, and i really don't like it. I was thinking about needing to get an entire new bed soemtime in the near future....but this post kinda brought to mind that maybe i should wait until after i quit smoking, because as you mentioned, that smell just lingers and lingers and won't go away. I think my old bed can hold out another year or so...as i have been saying for many years that when i turn 30,i am going to quit.

I must admit, I do smoke in my bedroom. Before I go to sleep at night I always smoke a cigarette and think about the events of the day, just to clear my head before going to sleep. I do keep the window open when the weather permits, hmmm I never really thought about the smell, you gave me something to think about.

I only smoke in the living room. I always close my bedroom door so the smoke won't go inside. Funny how I am a smoker but I can't stand or like the smell of cigarette smoke sometimes. Nobody is allowed to smoke in the bedroom.

I am an ex-smoker. I knew that cigarette smell but I did not know how bad until I quit. Anywhere people smoke inside leaves a lingering stale smell. Whenever I am around smokers who smoke inside I come home and I smell of cigarettes for hours afterwards. I try to avoid them now.

In Canada most public places you cannot smoke where once you were able to. This includes stores, hospitals, and any public buildings, and also includes restaurants and bars. Unfortunately, particularly the bars, had some decrease in business because of the smoking ban, but I suppose in the long run it is better for the health of everyone.

My house is a smoke-free zone. If people want to smoke they go outside. I didn't allow smoking in here for a long time but now most people go out voluntarily to smoke outside, which works out great for both of us. I can smell a cigarette from a mile away now.



happy

I smoked for many years and smoking was always permitted in the house but never ever did I allow smoking in the bedroom. I was always afraid of falling asleep and burning the place down. I agree smoke filled room is not the most appealing first thing in the morning. I have not had a cigarette since 1996 and I will never go back to it again. Needless to say there is No Smoking in my appartment or in my Van. Take Care.
