Our daughter is having her 21st birthday party in our home with 21+ of her closest friends. She says it is too cold to make her friends go outside to smoke and wants us to allow them to smoke inside our house for that one night. Her prediction is they will smoke outside whether we like it or not.
We feel hypocritical allowing them to smoke in our house when years ago we banned cigarette smoking. What would be a good solution?

Make a compromise with your daughter after reiterating your disapproval of tobacco. Tell her that her friends can vape on their electronic cigarettes. That way no matter what they’re smoking, it won’t stink up your house, because vaping on an e-cigarette emits vapor and not smoke. No odor.
They can vape in a movie theatre. So. Why not in your house? Those who insist on smoking tobacco cigarettes can smoke out in the cold.
