Just sounds like rationalizing a lot of destructive behavior, which gets harder to do the more you grow up. If you want to go there, you have to own it; seeking affirmation, especially here, is doomed. Maybe 20 years ago you could still pull it off, not to mention 50. Times have changed. Sure, secret smoking and "partaking" still seems charmingly roguish in "This is 40" or whatever, but modeling your behavior on the movies is perilous and silly, obviously. And it's one thing to explain to your kids why you smoked back in the day, but it's another to explain your pack of smokes they just found. Not to mention a joint. Unless you want to go all in and justify to them that this is all O.K. How's that for scandalous.


It wasn't ominous. It was pretty obvious.

Damn, if people were this fanatic about real life issues in the world, we would all be living in peace.

OP, do whatever you want. You know the risks. As long as smoking is not illegal, if you want to light up, go ahead. Half of these hypocrites demeaning you as If you're the devil are probably alcoholics, pill poppers, smoke weed, use other drugs or a combination.

I have a bigger problem with people who speed greatly, rapists, murderers, etc than someone smoking. Get over yourself people.

OP, I think it's good that you let your DH know that you have been smoking. Even though you weren't lying in the usual sense, you were lying by omission.

I urge you to work on eliminating the social smoking, however. It really is intensely bad for you, even if you only do it occasionally. Replace that cigarette with a tasty beverage.

He is not as vehemently opposed to smoking occasionally. Also he said that he would not have known unless I said something because he has never smelled the cigarettes on me.


Good for you?


well I just thought I'd explain
