husband has been for years.
Why does everyone in this house make me feel inadequate and unable to control myself?Don't they know that the more they hound me, the worse I feel and the worse I feel the more I want a CIGARETTE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe they are concerned about your health and want to make sure that you live long and well so they can drive you nuts about other stuff! It might be Mommy-Tough-Love.
It *is* a touchy subject with me - a former smoker, because I have lost many family members to smoking related diseases. But even now, as my mom has outlived her 3 SO's who all died of cancers related to smoking and drinking, I worry about the second hand smoke that she inhaled contributing to her present health worries.
They are just loving you, AdaGrace.

There is nothing that makes me feel like a cigarette more than people talking about quitting. I'll have to go have one after this post...
WHAT A PAIN IN THE *SS.
Really.
The other one I hate is people telling me to get my fingers out of my mouth (to stop chewing my nails) it makes me want to thump them. Really.But I do think about quitting sometimes.
When the lift breaks and I have to walk up 4 flights and I can feel myself hacking up all the crud in my lungs on the way up.
When I have that awful taste in my mouth in the moringings (coke doesn't help there to be sure).
When I smell OTHER PEOPLE lighting up. Yuk.
And so on.I used to say that there is nothing in the world that would or could inspire me to give up. But I have amended that. If I was pregnant or trying to get pregnant then I think I'd give it a damned good go.
I don't know.
I guess you could either put up with it or say ENOUGH. If you can't say anything nice etc.
