The constant in and out by my cigarette-smoking stepsons. Since both my husband and I are nonsmokers, they are not allowed to smoke in the house.

(Just FYI - one is 18 and the other is 21. Its not like we are letting underage children smoke at will.)
simple solution is to make a 100yard radius of the front door smoke free. That way the time they spend walking to and from the safe zone will make door opening that less frequent.

That's a great solution, but I don't think my husband will support it. He's not into the friction that would come of it. At least cold weather is coming - that might limit them somewhat.

Its a shame I'm hoping for cold weather.

He needs the No More Mr. Nice Guy book as well as Griff's FIL.
