Give and get support around quitting
Very good suggestion! Make it sound like no big deal to stop and let him smoke outside this will help him! if he refuses this too then don’t share a vehicle with him. I say. Hopefully that’s an option.
Third hand smoke is toxic too. In several states like mine CA it has been illegal to smoke in a car with a minor present. You can’t make him though. If he refuses to follow the law, or acknowledge and care about your and your child’s right to a non toxic environment then the only option would be to not knowingly go into a vehicle with your partner. If you have to do that and they become abusive, claiming you’re punishing them or making a big deal you don’t have to get defensive or explain yourself but you can say if you want something like, this has nothing to do with me wanting to control you, it has everything to do with my right to a non toxic environment while in a vehicle or in my home, and out child’s right to a non toxic environment as well. I love you and am sorry if you feel punished, but this is how it will be moving forward and it in know way came about to control or cause pain for you specifically. Also the lungs and minds of children are much more negatively affected by 2nd and 3rd hand smoke than adults. ❤️ good job on your quit.
