For Those Of You Who Smoke Or Living With Secondhand Smokers

[txplowgirl]

I was doing some research on the ingredients of what's in some cigarettes and I came across this. It dosen't have any wheat that I can see but it does have a lot of othere things that a lot of us with other food intolerances react to. This was last updated in 08, things might have changed since then. Hope you can understand it.

They put those things in different varieties of cigs? Did not know that!

Been thinking of you and your Significant Other ( what to call grown up BF?). Is he quitting smoking? You feeling good?

[rdunbar]

What about the cigarette papers? I've been wondering about that.

[txplowgirl]

Hey Kareng,

Thanks for asking. Doin pretty good so far, the smoking is bothering me some and he's trying to slow down at least. He's gone from 4 packs a day down to about 2 and a half. He tried to stay gluten free and he made it for 3 and a half weeks but now for the last week he's been eating gluten out of the truck. He's been good about washing his hands and brushing his teeth before getting back in but I am not happy about one thing. Yesterday he bought some flour tortillas to keep in the truck. I told him I was not touching those with a 10 foot pole and if he wanted them he better be darned carefull not to get them on anything and to make darn sure he didn't put them in my skillet and he better wipe every surface that he touches. We'll see how it goes.

Part of the problem is that he eats like a horse and what I have in the truck is just not enough to satisfy him. I'd have to have at least 5 coolers for what he would eat in a week. Lol and we have 2 now! With his diabetes it makes it even that much harder. I'm trying to think of a more variety for him but he definetly has a problem with nuts so he can't eat a lot of almonds like I do, or peanut butter. Then have to watch the carb and sugar intake. I just get really frustrated. He dosen't like to eat any meats more than twice a week, which is really irritating, but I guess that's just me.

All in all, he has changed his attitude, he's not so condescending any more. Anyway, i'm keeping my fingers crossed. Lol.

[kareng]

Sounds like he may be slow, but trainable!

[txplowgirl]

Lol, yes he is, but I have to give him credit he is trying but bless his heart he is still having trouble understanding the cross contamination thing.
