To MikeL 2

I'm trying to write a post but it accidently got submitted twice before I could write my message.
Anyway, I first wanted to say how sorry to hear what you had to go through after getting throat cancer. How terrible you had to suffer so much, but glad you seem to be better now.

I just have to kind of just shake my head thinking about how inconsiderate and thoughtless that your wife's sister is for smoking around you after all that you went through. You say that you do not prevent family or friends or anyone else from smoking at your home.

You are trying to be tolerant and accommodating for these family, friends, etc. when they should be thinking of what cigarette smoke did to you. Even though you do not prevent them from smoking if they so desire - THEY SHOULD REFRAIN FROM IT ANYWAY. How could people be so selfish as to smoke around you after what you went through?

How could your wife's sister just think about her own selfish desire to smoke even though you "do not prevent it." I know you probably don't want to make waves and be a good host and everything - but Mike you need to think about your health and really think about the long term effects and not allow it in your home at all. Your family and friends should be caring enough and NOT SMOKE NEAR YOU AT ALL even though you allow it. It is so wrong that people would think about their own selfish desires and not put you first when it comes to smoking around you. Especially what you had to go through DUE TO CIGARETTE SMOKE TAKING IT'S TOLL ON YOU. I know I am judging your wife's sister or other people who smoke around you when I do not know any one them. They may be very nice people - but Mike - they need to just consider your health and not just think about themselves and their terrible habit when they are at your home.
I am sorry for coming on so strong in this message but I just cannot believe people (your own family) can be so inconsiderate of you.
