[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is in her 80s and been a life long smoker. She is going to keep smoking. Your expectations don't seem aligned with reality. She is addicted and will keep smoking. Focus on harm reduction and figure out how she can safely smoke in her space.

Whoever encouraged or supported her in moving into a non smoking environment is partly to blame.[/b]

+1 We have neighbors who smoke in our non-smoking building all the time. If you complain, they just spray a huge amount of Febreeze. They are so disgusting. Smoking and breaking the rules and lying about it all seem intertwined to me.

If you smoke, don't move into a no-smoking building. Yes, there will be rainy days. Yes, you will wake up in the middle of the night and need to smoke. Yes, it will be freezing cold for long stretches of time. When those things happen, going outside to smoke will seem like a PITA. That does not making smoking inside a non-smoking building, spraying a massive amount of Febreeze and then lying about it all acceptable.

Your mom can get evicted.[/quote]
