    Do your parents smoke or drink?

    Mine don't fortunately and they never have had a smoking or drinking habit in their past lives. I don't think I could put up with it if they started to smoke >.< The smoke is horrible IMO.
     
    My parents are really heavy drinkers. *looks over* my dad is drinking a Natural Light right now actually. Theres about a whole god dang BOX of beer cans out on the street every week.
     
    Neither of them smoke. In fact, no one in my family smoke. Those that do had died of the effects of smoking. My dad drinks some alcohol every now and then though.
     
    yeah, my parents smoke...and they always say the will quit but they never do. They do it outside and not in the house...so that's a good thing.
     
    My mother is the only one that smokes. She couldn't care less about the idea of getting something that is possibly life threatening (heart attack, cancer, stroke, amputation, etc). No matter how much I inform her about it, she can't quit, simply too addicted. Neither of my parents drink.
     
    My parents are casual drinkers at best. I've seen them drink before, but never in excess, and not that often. Usually it's only when company's over, anyways...otherwise the drinks in the fridge sit there for the longest time.

    As for smoking...neither of them smoke, thank goodness. There are already enough problems in that house with people having allergies without adding things like cigarette smoke to it.
     
    My father smoked, but my mom and stepdad don't, which is good. I don't like smoking. My stepbrothers did though, but they had to smoke outside.

    My parents rarely drink, and if they do, it's just one drink. They're not alcoholics or anything. They just enjoy the casual drink, that's all. XD
     
    My dad used to smoke, but he quit before I was born. Sometimes he'll have the occasional cigar, but he smokes it outside. :x As for drinking, my parents often just have wine with dinner and my dad'll have a beer while watching sports, but it's casual and they're never irresponsible with it.
     
    Both of my parents smoke. They usually smoke in the downstairs bathroom, which I completely avoid because everything in there smells of smoke. And then the smoke drifts out from under the door and I can smell smoke every where. I hate it. I can't stand all the smoke. My dad keeps trying to quit, and I think eventually he'll be able to do it, but my mom is absolutely hopeless. She smokes wayyyyy too much. Whenever I bring up all the risks to her she gets really mad at me, so I'm not allowed to bring it up. D:

    My dad drinks, but only occasionally. Like at parties and stuff. And that isn't often. My mom, however, hates drinking.
     
    Oh, hello! I don't go into this forum often, but this topic is quite interesting... All I can say, is: My parents and people in my "close family" don't smoke (YAY) and they drink only occasionaly. Like parties and some "family actions" :D, so it isn't bad. I like my parents :D
     
    I only live with my mom, but thankfully she never smokes or drinks. Neither do most of my other family members (with the exception of a couple of cousins, but even they only do it outside, away from everyone else) so I feel very fortunate when it comes to that.

    I have some friends who I feel so sorry for because their parents either smoke or drink all the time... and I know how annoying that can get. ._.; I always feel horrible when I have to smell that stuff for long periods of time. It's a shame to see people who don't have the desire to take better care of theirselves.
     
    My mum is the only one that smokes in the house, she doesn't ever want to listen to me that not only can it be dangerous for herself, but it could be dangerous for everyone else. She did try to quit once, but that only lasted for a couple of weeks before she started smoking again. It's a good thing she doesn't drink, my dad doesn't smoke nor does he drink, he only drinks on Occasions.
     
    My parents I live with don't smoke, they drink, but not very often, so they are far from alcoholics, and I don't do either myself, I don't drink or smoke.. maybe the odd beer, but that's about it. It doesn't happen often.
     
    Mine don't do either, thank god. I'd hate for them to knowingly contribute to poor health, though they're both extremely healthy atm.
    Me, I'll smoke occasionally, though, to respect my parents, only at my local bar/concert hall, where you'd be smoking anyway from all the secondhand, so whether or not I'm the one holding the cigarette doesn't seem to matter.
     
    I sometimes think I'm kind of fortunate that Mom smokes. Certainly not while I was unborn—I'm sure that accounts for a lot of what's wrong with me. XD;—but because of it, I grew up strongly resenting smoking, drinking, drugs, and pretty much anything that causes a permanent change in the body. Maybe I'm just scared of not being able to go back, but I've always hated all of that with a passion. o_o; I once threw out an entire carton of her cigarettes when I was little. That...did not make her happy. The sad thing is, I don't think she'd really stop me if I did smoke. She just can't say no to me. Most of the time, that's a good thing. xD; But it'd be awful if I wasn't so self-policing.

    I feel the same way as Karli. I abhor the smoke smell, and wish I could convince her to quit. But bringing it up makes her very upset, so I've just learned to let it be. It's sad; I want her to live for a long time, because I'm going to lose her earlier than most lose their mothers since she had me so late in life. Smoking will only hasten that. :\
