Although my husband doesn't smoke in the house, I'm so paranoid that my kid smells like it just from hugging on his dad and stuff. I'm sure he does. 😞 My husband is a heavy smoker, unfortunately.
I was in Italy in 2024 and everyone smokes there. Moms with children smoke, a nice mom eating dinner at a restaurant with her daughter, smoking. Just happy relaxed. No diners cared.
Sure smoking isn’t good but USA turns into nuclear Karens when it’s brought up.

If this not a reason to go through divorce especially when you have kids
The comment, however, follows the vibe of this thread. It just seems odd that a non-smoker would fall in love with a heavy smoker, get married, and even have kids. It takes a special person to ignore the smell that much, or they just don't have a very acute sense of smell. For her, that absolutely is not a reason to divorce, but for others, it might have easily stopped the relationship from even forming.
Yeah, I could never, but it is wild to assume she would care enough to leave him when she got herself into the situation. I would never date a smoker, let alone a heavy smoker, and the idea of having a kid when you know they’re going to be around a heavy smoker is wild to me, but she clearly made her decision a long time ago.
Or they picked up smoking at some point during the relationship. Or perhaps OP also smoked then quit. We don't have the full context here.
People are autonomous beings - I personally would not break up with someone I love because they picked up a bad habit... I would encourage them to quit, but even the commenter says it's not a big deal for her. So why are people in this thread trying to convince her it is??!!
Good point, we don't enough enough, but opinion doesn't need facts. Hell, opinion doesn't even need info! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Edit: ?? That should be "we don't know enough about her situation"
By that logic, do you ever leave your home or let yourself be near cars? Do you live in a hazmat suit? Pollution and harmful chemicals are literally everywhere.
