Pat gave you some great information. I am not a smoker of any kind and when I met my DH he used to smoke inside of his apartment when I walked in there I felt as though I would die a little every time. I sat him down and basically told him that I could not live like that. My eyes hurt, my throat hurt, my nose was stuffy-- I wouldn't even like to stay over because of it. So, he understood and there is absolutely NO smoking inside our house especially now that we have a baby. As a matter of fact, I ask that he washes his mouth frequently and changes his shirt when he gets home from work. I have no shame in asking him to do these things because if I made the choice not to smoke it was to be a healthier person and I don't feel that anyone has the right to take that away from me or my son.
Good luck, you are not making an unreasonable request.
