[quote=Anonymous]Your kid is not going to get cancer from third-hand smoke because he spends a week in the presence of his grandma. Ask grandma to smoke outside and wash hands face immediately afterward. If your kid asks about grandma smoking, explain about addiction and how bad smoking is for you without villanizing grandma. As a former smoker with a parent that still smokes, asking a longtime smoke to quit cold turkey so they can visit you is just asking for your kid to never see their grandparent. You have to think about the long-term effects of that, as well, and balance it against a *realistic* judgment about the actual physical danger to your kid.[/quote]
