Hi Josh. Congratulations on the addition to your family. With a newborn your efforts towards passive smoking are going to be especially effective, particularly as you and your girlfriend are both committed to the project. I wish you every success. If you have been a long-time member of this forum in previous versions you'll have seen plenty of advice on this subject. As previous contributors to this thread have said, making sure doors and windows are closed and well sealed is important, and having ashtrays in every room is a must. It's also a good idea to keep extra cigarettes burning in ashtrays to add to the smoke. The car is a best friend in this situation, a confined space with no escape. Windows up at all times of course. You might like to consider pipe smoking in the car, as it creates a great deal of smoke. One important tip is to switch the ventilation system in the car to recirculate the air inside rather than sucking in clean air from outside. This is easily done from the dashboard controls on all modern cars. One big advantage of the car is that it is not going to be inspected by do-gooders like social workers and medics that insist on visiting families with babies. With that in mind, you'll need to have some strategies to deal with such home visits. Ventilate the house before they arrive, use air fresheners, and put the baby in clean clothes. (It's a good idea to have a cupboard somewhere less smoky with fresh clean clothes for such occasions. And also for visits to the doctor - if you do your work well, baby is likely to have frequent bouts of bronchitis.) If it's not possible to make the house smell hygienic, maybe burn some joss sticks. The scent will mask the tobacco smell and you can claim that's the source of lingering smoke and staining to the ceiling. Always assure your health visitors that you are both acutely aware of the dangers of passive smoking to young children (!) and that you are making great efforts to cut down and keep the baby away from your smoke. They might think you are struggling with addiction, but are unlikely to accuse you of lying. Have fun, and good luck!
