Res gave you great advice. You took a mature and responsible path with your Mom. I understand how tough it can be to be the parent in this type of circumstance, and I applaud your Mom for listening to you and showing her respect for your choices. I think it's great that you can agree that you will not smoke in the house. As you get older, I hope that your relationship with your Mom continues to grow. You sound like a great person, (so does your Mom). Kuu
