	> BUT, I still smoke. Instead of seizing the moment and just fucking telling them that I was a smoker, I covered it up and am TO THIS DAY still hiding it. When my family is coming over, I hide EVERYTHING from ashtrays to pack wraps and lighters. When I go home to visit, I make sure I don't smoke at least a half hour before I go into anyone's house and that I have plenty of Eclipse gum on hand. > I feel like a CHILD. Does anyone have any speculation as to why it's so hard for me to just come clean with my family? THEY ALL SMOKE! I'm not sure why they look at me differently. Well, I'm 27, my family is composed of non-smokers (my grandmother quit after her heart attack and my aunt quit just for the heck of it a few years ago), and I prefer Extra Winterfresh to Eclipse, but other than that we're in essentially similar situations. :) I've been smoking since I was 14, but no member of my family has ever seen me with a cigarette or found out that I smoked...and it took a LOT of work to keep it that way, especially in my teen years. Nowadays I just don't invite relatives over to my place, and when visiting them I make sure to keep a supply of nicotine patches at the ready. I've often counseled people against hiding this sort of thing from a significant other, so it's arguably hypocritical for me to still be hiding it from my family nine years after they lost the ability to do anything about it if they did find out. Advice? No, none from this corner. But I understand where you're coming from.
