this last christmas i went over to my parents and wellof course my step siter and her girlfriend were there and well all of them lite a c cigarette and started smoking. while me and my daughter sat there. My daughter was 6 months at the time. I asked them if they could go out side and they said that they windows and the front door was opened and that it was fine. Today i asked my sister if they still smoke in the house and she said yes so i haven't been over there since christmas. Should i risk going over there if they are still smoking in the house.?

Well if they are smoking its not really good for the body not only the baby. But at least you said it very well not to offend them too that at least care for other people's lungs if they want to destroy theirs..

I think you just need to be honest with them about the effects of second hand smoke on non-smokers. It's not worth your child's health just because they want to indulge themselves. The polite thing would be for them to smoke outside.

Smoking - Smoking is injurious to health.
I can understand your concern in this matter. I am fortunate as my grandparents and parents do not smoke. In fact, no body in our household smokes. Some relatives smoke but when are in our house they do not smoke.
