That happens to me quite often and when it does I light up a smoke too which is very bad but I just make sure that I don't do it too often or I might become addicted to smoking and I know how hard it is to give up. When I gave up smoking many, many years ago I thought it was the hardest thing to do but I did it and I'm rather proud of it. But the situation you describe is really terrible.

Hi
Children who stay with the smokers have more chance to get affected by asthma, chest infections etc than the children staying with non smoker parents. There is an increased risk of lung cancer and heart diseases if you are exposed to other people smoking to a large period of time. Second hand smoking is also very dangerous. But there may not be a foolproof way to prevent passive smoking. You can ask your room mates to smoke out side the room. You can try to make them aware of the health benefits obtain by giving up smoking.

Hi
If they really want to quit smoking there are many ways. How many room mates you have who really wish to quit this habit? If more than one, then they can take a collective decision to give up this habit and the difficult level to break the decision will be more, since this is a collective decision. They can set a date to quit and from that day onwards they should not smoke. When ever they feel like smoking they can use a chewing gum or chocolate or some thing else they like and destract their mind from craving of smoking. They can also consult a doctor or a counsellor specialised on this area , can help them better.

It is the non-smokers whose health is damaged due to smokers, besides smokers themselves getting into some serious problem. Inside the room one should not allow the smoking because of
1) it litters the room
2) the amoke balloons around the persons who are sitting inside the room
3) Chances are the aroma (bad smell) of smoking may induce the non-smoker to start smoking.
