Del, would you divorce her if she started to smoke in the house again?...... or would you sit on the patio while she smoked in the living room?

Was I wrong in forbidding her to smoke in the house?

Not necessarily, considering that your son has a very specific medical problem that constant exposure to smoke could aggravate. Although why wouldn't it have been possible to set aside a room where your wife could smoke?

What you did seems perfectly understandable. What were her reasons for continuing to smoke around him? It seems odd maternal behavior, but maybe she had what she felt were valid reasons?

Del, I think you were absolutely right in not allowing your wife to smoke in the house with a small child who had a heart defect. I wonder if some smokers feel so much in the minority now that they have developed some sort of persecution complex. Their arguments don't even made common sense.

It is too bad your wife didn't simply smoke outside. Building her a well-ventilated patio room seems very fair to me.
